Check out the first chapter of my story, "A Bit Too Many Kings"!
The story is set in an alternate version of Victorian era Europe.
The continent is divided into three regions.
The Southern region, the Imperio, is ruled by the Impero and his royal court, a group of self-indulgent, hedonistic and morally corrupt noblemen, known as the "Dandes".
The North-Western region, the Kingdom of Isleland, is ruled by a royal family that has fallen under the influence of a conservative and occult, rising religion.
The North-Eastern region, known as the Zaristat, is under the military, tyrannical regime of the Zar, and is being constantly divided by conflicts between the different ethnic tribes, declaring their independance.
The story follows Dande Giacomo Belbo, a charlatan-turned-nobleman with a mysterious past, following his King in the annual gathering of the rulers.
Amidst the three royal families, their courts, deadly conspiracies, tyrants, noblemen, cult leaders, diplomats, traitors, liars and criminals, Belbo will find himself in a web of secrets that might be a lot bigger than he thought.
