In the lands of Kainor some people are born with runes. These runes, scrawled in black at the base of the right side of the neck, grant the person a certain power. These powers can range from cooking to combat and some can be very powerful and others not so much.
One girl is born with a different rune, a golden rune painted on her face. The strange rune gives her strange powers. She is able to steal other people's runes.
Now a dangerous assassin, Laika travels the lands of Kainor until she is finally captured by the King of Galabee's soldiers. She is used as a brute to strike fear into the King's not so loyal subjects, while she is kept company by the King's two sons. One of whom helps her realize that maybe she is more than just a killer.

Lantana
[UNDER EDITING] The princess. A role more symbolic than powerful, a position more caging than liberating. A life more dreadful than joyous. It's a wonder to the people why Princess Lantana ran from her position. Yet, free in the forest, Lantana never felt more jubilant. The General. A man of stoic brutality, his name laced with fear tied to the battlefield. A man who's surprisingly level-headed for a man of war, yet wholly devoted to the crown. When the General returns Lantana to her gilded lifestyle, she's swept into a world of ballgowns and delicacies, yet tension is simmering beneath the golden folds of her dresses or the foundations of the castle. Tension pulled from the deepest roots of the world, pressure waiting to explode. For the King made a dreadful bargain, one with divine consequences. *** TW: Descriptions of violence, war, death, mild swearing. As stated, I'm undergoing editing and am too lazy to change all the banners in the chapters one by one, so I'll be doing it gradually. Chapters edited: 7/40 Huge thanks to @redflowers- for the beautiful banner and @wandology for the cover and banners! Featured (x1) @fantasyComplete

Her spirit is picked up by her brother, a beginner god who needs help raising the hero of his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her an opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a semi-ageless body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to have someone to baby at last. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else. DISCLAIMER!!! This is the first 77 chapters of a 241 chapter book! You can get it for cheapity cheap on Amazon (ebook and hardcopy) or pay by the chapter on other sites. It's called 'Google it.' I advise the Amazon route, because we poor folk need to stick together.Complete
