"War... though we were never accustomed to it in the first place, has become rampant and fierce throughout these lands. And now we suffer the fate of our abusr and indifference. Viotile abominations walk the earth, killing everyone and devouring anyone or anything in its path. I leave this journal of mine in hopes that one day, a survivor from the war could tell the story and spread it across far and wide. There is no going back. This will be my final entry as is. Though most of the content might be vague, but I want them to spread the story in another way. Not me as a queen, but me as a woman, a warrior, a mother. My daughter... I am sorry I am not there for you. I may never come back from this, so incase you are of right age, My sister will show you this and you'll be able to know the truth. I pray that you'll grow up into a wonderful woman of your own. I love you..." -Last entry, 678 C.L.E, Serena Von Lionheart
HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1 by marcellaiswriting
34 parts Complete
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.
