Thousands and thousands of years ago, 8 Kingdoms arose from the ashes. Masses of land divided by oceans, seas, mountains and forests. And with these 8 Kingdoms arose 8 Gods. One God for each Kingdom. Together, they were called The Ones. And after The Ones, came Karlayns and Karklyns. Half-creatures and half-humans. They were submited to the Gods and later on the Kings and Queens. And those who did not obey them were doomed to the living hell. The 8 Kingdoms lasted thousands and thousads of years. Nu Moi Dur, Brlur, Mui Dan Fur, Iqueris, Ayevkar, Stuinia, Eprosal and Uscilla. Kings and Queens ruled, survived and thrived. Wars tore down whole lands and killed more men than one can count. And for years, the Kingdoms lived in peace.
And when Maylea Wun, only daughter of the King and Queen of Nu Moi Dur, the Dragon Kingdom, takes the throne after her parents' passing, the Kingdoms fall into a pit of chaos. The 8 Kingdoms are at one single step from falling back into another Grand War, a war that would not be worth it. And inside that war, all hell will break loose. Passing of loved ones, collapse of Kingdoms, atrocious battles of Karklyns and manipulations made by Karklayns. All and nothing will be threatened. And it would all start the moment the crown of Nu Moi Dur lands on Maylea's head, the moment a blind theft happened, the moment a Karklayn looked up, the moment a murder of an innocent was commited, the moment a Karklyn felt, the moment a forbidden love emerged, these were all of the moments who led the 8 Kingdoms into their chaos and despair.

Twelve-hundred years ago, the first king of Sacreon led a rebellion against an empire of witches. The war for who would rule next continues to this day. A false guise of peace came over Ert after two genocides, but there is no one so foolish as to claim the fighting is done. A prophecy claims that war will return to Ert when the moons are full once again on Ascenday. That day is growing closer now, and there is not a fool in the warring nations who does not dread its coming.
In the midst of this all, the heirs to Sacreon struggle to find their place in this world of kings and knights and gods and elves and witches. A princess falls for someone she cannot hope to have, prince travels south to broker an alliance, a warrior seeks vengeance for the death of her sister. and the heir to a long forgotten kingdom quests for glory. Behind all of this, one man journeys north to an island of long forgotten magic with plans of justice, and The Wolf Witch goes west, searching for the one who can stop this war and unite Ert once again: The Silver Girl.
Note: The Wolf Witch is meant to be a prequel to this book, and Sora will make an appearance, but she will not be a main character. By the way I take huge inspiration and influence from A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones so if you like that you'll probably like this (and my other writings I hope).
Cover created by the most excellent @apprehensiveanne. It's very cool.
