The Way of the Betrayed

Some might say this is a fairy tale, a curse, or even a tragedy but one thing is for sure, those who read this book never return the same. That my dear reader is your first warning which is much more than Faelyn Merith got when she met Kane Duval, her sisters betrothed.

There once was a story about a glorious and powerful kingdom called Merrium, the people were happily ruled by the great queen and king who were peaceful and just. The queen was the last of the poor, run down lower sections to be able to conceived a child after a curse was placed on the kingdom by the terrible and dangerous daragnor. The queen loved the king so passionately that songs are still played about them today and on such a joyous summers day, she married him and bore him a purple eyed son called Aesar. The whole kingdom loved and adored the new-born, holding celebrations filled with hope that the dreadful curse would be broken until one treacherous, rainy night where all their hopes and longing vanished. That night being the night their beloved queen fell to her death from the highest tower of the castle, leaving the kingdom in darkness.....or so that's how the legend goes.....
