The land of Aulitia was once a luscious green haven, blessed by the Gods with ever giving life. All creatures, from humans, and elves, to goblins, vile, and demons were protected and given bountiful land and happiness. Tsar Frederick rules with his two demi-god sons, one with the power to heal even the dead, and the other with the strength of a thousands Orcish warriors.
However, this changes when the jealous leader of a neighbouring Kingdom invades, kidnapping the two young princes, leaving one, stripped of his golden heart, for dead.
A decade passes, and with the war still raging, Tsarevich Feliks, known as the "Sickly Tsarevich", must gather his allies and journey far from home to retrieve his brother- the one who is prophesied to be able to save their land for good.
{A Russian-inspired fantasy tale of a disabled hero and his misfit band of companions journeying from Kingdom to Kingdom to recover a long lost hero. This story is whimsical and sad at times, and explores the boundaries of magic, friendship, found family and love!}
After living full lives filled with both happiness and sorrows, two lifelong friends die in old age and wake up as their younger selves, not in an afterlife, but in a world that they themselves have written about and imagined their entire lives. Now they must adjust to this new reality and fight for the love and respect they seek in a world full of magic, mystery, and danger.
This story is a slow, slow burn.
