The Battle for Veridonia

The Battle for Veridonia

The dawn broke over the kingdom of Veridonia, casting a pale light over the landscape that had once been lush and vibrant. Now, it was a field of preparation—an arena where the fate of the kingdom would be decided. The air was thick with the scent of impending conflict, a blend of damp earth and cold steel. Duke Roderick’s forces had assembled in the distance, a dark sea of armor and banners that seemed to stretch endlessly across the horizon. It was a sight that sent a shiver down the spine of even the most seasoned warrior.

On the other side of the battlefield, within the fortified walls of Avaloria, Seraphina stood on the ramparts, her gaze fixed on the approaching army. Her heart pounded in her chest, not from fear, but from the heavy responsibility that weighed on her shoulders. She had fought many battles, but this was different. This was a battle for everything she held dear—her kingdom, her people, and the love she shared with Lucien.
