Tears I Have Shed

Ophelia.

Daughter of a murdered father and mother, her people lost to mass genocide by the Christian Church.

Her life has become a spiral of despair her hope shattered by her capture by the red paladins she had been trying to run from, being kept a prisoner for five years.

Her only thought is keeping the young child she found in a river safe from any and all danger that shows itself, and yet, she finds herself drawn towards the man who had captured her from the beginning.

Destiny has wrapped her in its opaque fabric and she is far more involved in the greater destiny for all Britain than she knows.

Born a Princess of a land filled with life, only to end as the Queen of a kingdom filled with nothing but ash and bones.
