Hello everyone! Thank you so much for the support on my intro post! With Campnano 2 hours away (in NYC, in the US) I wanted to get to introducing the WIP that’s getting me through nano and has been getting me through these last 5 years!
(It’s very clear when you read this synopsis I’m not qualified to write synopses whatsoever 😂)
Synopsis: Lygana wins the kings championship against her final competitor and is elevated from city guard to guest of the king within the palace. Her first task: travel across the sea to a Aubruk, a nation rumored to have been blessed with the return of magic. Her king, afraid of what they might accomplish should they seek to use the power sends her to infiltrate the army and gather information on them and return with three years.
Gathen, King of Priale, has sent his new champion and former city guard, Lygana across the sea to deal with the looming threats he’s been warned of, but before he can worry about what goes on across the sea he must deal with the unstable, teetering on the brink of war, continent on which he resides. To the north a queen seeking revenge tests him, within his homeland and across the nations of the continent, insurectionist groups take form and within his own mind he fights dangerous urges.
Cypress, King of Aubruk, has been informed of various people have been able to access a form of power long since religated to myth, upon inspection he sees that myth and legend have come to life, and a darker path will take hold if he does not act fast.
Caught between political, inter and intrapersonal struggles, the three must find ways to protect themselves and those they seek to defend, some in line with what they’ve always believed and some at the cost of morality, as the world around them fractures, encroaching on a breaking point that will have the world cowering.
Priale - kingdom in the south of western continent, largest by population and size.
Aubruk - vast central kingdom taking up most of the long eastern continent.
Kastroth - northern queendom ruled by a lineage of women, nearly completely isolated except for a sliver of land between the mountains and the sea.
