"It is an army of one purpose: the destruction of the world of men."

It has been a thousand years since the Revealing and the shattered world remains as bitterly divided as ever. Magic, rare and dangerous, rules the battlefield alongside knights in armor. Demons of a forgotten age hunt the darkness. Dragons and monsters stalk the wilderness. In the west, an ancient evil stirs and only a few stand between the world and the brink.

At the center of the storm is the Lady Penitent, Holland Cea Trădată, a former servant of the demon lords now caught between a love she can never have and the echoes of an ancient prophecy. More sorcery than woman, she can feel the call of demons in her half-hollow heart. The lines blur, loyalties war, and the whispers of the Deceiver threaten to corrupt her soul...All Rights Reserved

Damsel Knight by samaustinwriter

Sometimes the best knight is a damsel. In a world where women are seen as weak, defenceless creatures for men to protect and own, one orphan girl wants to be different. She dreams of being a knight. Slaying dragons, taking down armies with her father's sword. Only her foster parents don't agree with her views. On the night of her betrothal to a man over twice her age, the King's soldiers come to their tiny village, and in the chaotic aftermath she's left with a choice. Go back to life she knows and marry a man she despises. Or journey onward and risk death to earn the knighthood she dreams of. The road forward isn't a safe one for a girl travelling with only her foster brother as company. Magic lurks in dark places. Vengeance burrows deep in many equally dark hearts. And all around the circle armies are gathering to defend the Kingdom against a threat not seen for a thousand years. This is the first part of the 140 thousand word fantasy adventure.
