She looked at the castle she used to call home, the walls she used to protect. She looked at it now with a burning hatred. With her sword gripped firmly, she took a step forward. She was out for blood, the blood of the man sat atop the throne.
Long live His Majesty? Screw that.
*******************
Girls can't be knights, but tell that to Alya Norwick, the knightess of Aerilion (well, ex-knightess that is). Growing up an orphan and raised by her kingdom's soldiers, she had all the training she could ever need to pledge her life to knighthood. But in a world where women merely existed to breed, she had to fight tooth and nail to earn the acceptance from the people of her kingdom, and from the cruel king who ruled it.
That is, of course, until all her hopes and dreams came crashing down for one false accusation. Tried for treason and sentenced to death, Alya is faced with no choice other than to escape her fate or accept it. With her rage and hatred for the unjust King fueled, she's on a path to overthrow his monarchy once and for all.
Forming unlikely alliances with deadly. fugitives, and uncovering century old secrets about her past, Alya has a whole lot of killing (and kissing) to do. This is the beginning of a war, and she is adamant on winning it.
This time, the knightess of Aerilion won't be there to fend of her kingdom's uprising, she'll be the one leading it.
