Rising Stars

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Content warning: Violence, blood, adult themes, strong language ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Halfbreed. Impure. Dirty blood. Many of these, and worse, insults Ithiliel had to bear with. Born as a simple huntsman's daughter, she lived a modest, simple life till she grew old enough to help her father. Taught in the ways of marksmanship, she soon showed a great talent for the bow. This talent was meant to change her fate, as one day it would save a knight's life and entangle her own with his in a spiral of corruption, murder, lies, and sorcery. Her once, more or less, sheltered life was over, and she soon found herself in the Capital as a member of the King's Court. Was she strong enough to endure jealous nobles, survive power struggles and forget those green eyes she once met in the woods? Or will she drown in them till love consumes her and follow a path darker than imagined? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The book cover is mine. I made it myself, using a picture of my avatar from a game. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
