A Stew of Beans and Barley

ONE GIRL. ONE EMPIRE. SEVERAL MILLION BEANS.

Maybe once upon a time there was freedom, but now we know only Beans.
Barleys like us, ordinary people, are forced into slums to produce necessities for the ruthless Bean elite. Most of our island, Beana Maxima, is for them only, territories controlled by the fourteen noble Houses of Bean and the Royal Beanship.
My name is Gaelryth, and this is the story of how I changed everything.

Gaelryth is a nineteen-year-old Barley barely scraping by with her drug-addicted father and best friend Gaidric in slum district B6. Life is tough, but seems predictable enough - until Gaelryth's secret is discovered and she is arrested by the vicious Bean guards.
Imprisoned on the sister isle, Beana Minima, facing execution, Gaelryth unleashes magic she didn't know she had. Magic only possessed by the ruling Bean aristocracy.
Eager to cover their mistake, the royal Houses take her in and train her, and to remove any doubts of her lineage, promise her hand in marriage to His Royal Beanship Gaylord, the crown prince and one of the most powerful Beans on the island. As Gaelryth struggles to juggle her feelings for the Beans, she must learn to control her newfound powers and find a way to break the oppression of the royals. Because only she can be the water that boils the Beans alive.
