A young man finds himself stranded by the death of another. (Written March 2015 - Feb 2018) 12/30/2021 - Author's note: I write to those who have awaited more of this world... I have not revisited this story in years and will likely have to do some major edits/rewrites before I write a sequel. I am sorry to inform it will probably be some more years before I have the time/energy. For now, consider this a fragment of a fuller universe. It is also a peek into the process of me learning to write as well as my early attempts to deconstruct power dynamics/hierarchy/gender/etc. I appreciate anyone who has found something of worth here and I want to reassure you that I don't intend to leave this story to rest forever. It will be reborn from its ashes and bring with it new growth.

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.
