The Wildflower Knights: Only the Marked

"The group was stuck together, alone in the wilderness, and they couldn't hold their tongues forever. Their stories that led to this moment still had to be told, their mission completed somehow."

The Imperium has drafted a random selection of Marked citizens to embark on a perilous mission, one that could stave off the destruction of Allarum by the ruins of war. The brutal Shabari have set a spellbound barrier between Allarum and their own homeland, Joriketh, forcing the warring nations into a tense peace. But the barrier cannot stay up forever, and the rulers of Allarum are determined to have it torn down on their terms, not the other way around.

And so we have the motley crew of recruits of all tribes and backgrounds, training at the Militant University for the Marked for the purpose of completing an assault on the border barricade. But the recruits aren't there by choice. They're there by force. What's worse is an eerie reluctance from the University staff to reveal anything too telling about the experimental mission being pressed upon the trainees.

Six such recruits find themselves in an impossible situation. Nowhere is safe, and no one can be trusted. Yet the hearts of humankind are slow to give up, and in the battle of good versus evil, humble, beautiful flowers must prove their strength against the beasts of the field.

Bravery and cowardice contend in a mission that radically shakes the lives of thousands of Allarum's citizens. And when the straits of the country become suddenly more dire, there is nothing to do but fully commit to saving the homeland of millions and don the armor of knighthood.
