‘Even the smallest child in Avar knows that not all fairy tales come true…’

Josiah Rose was a man raised in death. His mother died when he was young and the Kingdom of Avar was run by the Vampiric Regime of Sias Amman—descendant of the victors of the War of Blood Hollow.

After his father’s passing, Josiah was caught in a fierce battle between his step mother over his childhood home. Now at twenty-one, there is only one word surrounding the market: Marriage.

Talks of nobles far and wide coming for a ball to swoon one Prince Malik Amman ring loud as Josiah finds himself in a carriage on his way into the lions den. Now Josiah has to put on his best act to survive dancing with eyes as red as blood. All the while, it feels like someone’s staring at him in the shadows.

How does one dance in slippers made of glass? How does one not get burned to cinders by dragon’s flame?

Cinders

The mistreatment of the Dragon-borne was nothing new to the Kingdom. For as long as anyone could remember, the Dragon-borne had been seen as lower than human. In all parts of history, it was usually the Dragon-borne that seemingly held the high end of the power. That was all changed during the War of Blood Hollow.


Blood Hollow was a section of the world that housed numerous outcast peoples. Witches, shifters, Specters, anomalies—they all called Blood Hollow their home; giving their hidden paradise its name from the numerous rituals performed almost nightly. Despite the ominous name, it was a peaceful place. Many traded with these outcasts, giving valuable goods for favors big and small.
