Black Throne
Nuriya, daughter of the House of Sasan, was born under an auspicious star that hailed her a maiden of destiny. Gifted with beauty, wit, and a prodigious command of magic--she seemed everything her stars had promised. She was handled like a precious relic--all her family's dreams and ambitions rested on her shoulders and the world around her showered her with generosity and honor--including the hand of the crown prince. Nuriya's life seemed a dream.
Until her seventeenth birthday. When it all turned into a nightmare.
There was an error in the reading of her stars. She wasn't destined to be a Lady of Light or the Holy Mother of an Empire: she was to be slain immediately. For if she were allowed to live? She would destroy her family and her homeland--and her children would be the monsters that would one day wage war against the whole world.
Author here. Thanks for reading my work. I put this off until near the very end of the contest because, well, I was embarrassed to. Plus, I don't really like the idea of the author influencing his own review score. But now, I think it's safe? (I think? I'm new to this. So I don't quite get how things in the site work yet.) But yeah, writing this just to thank everyone who visited. ^_^ I hope you had fun.
