Our story follows a fairy and a prince, Khula and Kido, in their fight to liberate the Fae from the harsh rulings of the King of Ishigaki. Will they be able to overcome their differences and work together, or will class struggles and saboteurs get in their way? I wrote this novel between the ages of 17-19 (I'm 20 now), so it's exciting to get to finally share it! I'll be posting excerpts of the story on TikTok @girlwhowritesthings, so follow me there for updates :)

What began as a story inspired by Kentaro Muira's Berserk, became a world... The young Prince Eadric has lost his closest friend, greatest ally, and true love, his squire Olivar. Ripped from Eadric by a war his Father-the King-began and does not wish to end, or else diminish his power and control over the people. The Prince has no recourse for justice, or sanction to grieve openly, lest the court discover his "sinful nature," his desire for men. He finds comfort where he can, in time spent with his wife, the Princess Malika, and their children, but an emptiness continues to haunt him. By decree of the king, in hopes that his son may be "cured" of his "affliction," he has commissioned the Holy Seal to assign a spiritual tutor to guide the Prince. Through fate or other pantheonic happenstance, the High Cleric Daemo is selected for the task and through their lessons spent together the pair discover a bond that supersedes duty, and societal want. An elve, born among the lower classes of Ullyn-their shared country-Daemo has brought to his newly established rank as High Cleric, a deep understanding of the peasant plight and fights to strengthen their rights. Often childish, and yet wise beyond his years, capable of reciting great poetry and replicating flatulent excess, the High Cleric captivates Eadric with his eccentric charm, as the Prince captivates Daemo with his gentle heart, buried beneath a societally mandated masculine stoicism. Spanning nearly two decades, their relationship soars to beautiful highs, and crashes to withering lows, throttled by unrest and the pressures constantly laid upon the Prince as the son of a man who has done more wrong for the kingdom than right. Eadric could resign himself to the traditional expectations that generations past have established for him, or fight for newly formed convictions-social justice-fostered by feelings he never thought he could find again, those of true love, with Daemo.
