adventure dark daughter despair forest hope king loss magic mother prophecy

Guided by fate and the desire for answers to her own past, Alice ventures into the one place all know to stay far away from. The tainted forest. A place where even the creatures have succumbed to darkness, and ruled by a King that fell into despair and rage over 500 years ago. Joined by her mother, the two begin the journey to bring the curse that has killed so many to an end.  

This is my first book and writing this is helping me delve into my own story of despair, self-hatred, and struggle to find hope.

Kingdom's Fall by mygoditsraining

Updating Fridays and Sundays, Kingdom's Fall is a fantasy adventure set in a world where heroes find themselves pitted against an ancient and powerful magic. Kara has lived her whole life trapped under the roof of her father's inn. She longs for adventure, but there is little to be found in a backwater village: at least until Aiden Baird arrives. Noble, rogue, and spy - Aiden Baird is the most notorious man in the Kingdom. Or he would be, if he could remember who he is... Cuan has lived his entire life as the garrison brat, surrounded by soldiers. Unwanted and ignored, he travels north in the service of the one man he looks up to: Gray, the garrison captain. But Captain Gray has concerns of his own. It has been fifteen years since he last saw the King, and they did not part on good terms. Something dark is growing in the Kingdom. Trade from the south has choked to a standstill, and the air over the marshes hangs heavy with the threat of war. In the north the sea-wall, the ancient defence that protects the coastline, is crumbling. The people look to their lords for guidance, and the lords look to their King. King Varion has little time for their concerns. His daughter has been kidnapped by a priest-cult who intend to sacrifice her and summon an ancient power into the world. Faced with an enemy beyond human understanding, there is only one conclusion. In order to save their people, the Kingdom must fall.

In the midst of this gathering storm, Belkai Androva is smuggled across the north-eastern border. The young mage harbours a dark secret as she makes her way through the countryside, but people are starting to notice the trail of bodies left in her wake. The world is changing, and this mysterious figure may hold the key to Svaleta's survival. * This story will also be posted on Royal Road under the same title.
