The Silverston Empire teeters on the edge of ruin. A foolish emperor and his reckless sons cling to power, while the nobility, consumed by greed and ambition, bleed the empire dry. The people live in crushing poverty, women are silenced by systemic oppression, and magic—once a source of wonder—has been branded as sin. The ancient dragons, symbols of balance and strength, are no more, leaving the land vulnerable and fractured.

All hope rests on the Alcons, a forgotten bastion of power. Its guardians? Six princesses, dismissed as spoiled and unfit for anything beyond luxury. But beneath the silks and jewels lie secrets and strengths even they do not fully understand. In a world spiraling into darkness, can these unlikely heroines rise to reclaim their empire and restore the balance?

Daughters, Swords &Dragons

She drew her sword rising to her feet.

"How dare you step your foot into the palace of Alcon." She sobbed her heart heavy with tears.

"None of you will leave with your heads."

Valdis didn't hesitate "Sisters we must go."

"But mother and father." Deyanira protested.

Eris growled "I refuse to surrender in the face of death."

Neera shed tears "I agree I cannot leave without washing this walls in their blood."

Emery drew her sword "For the life of my parents I require all their families heads as compensation."

Valdis blocked their path "No one is going down there."

Deyanira withdrew her dagger placing it by Valdis neck "Move sister."

"I refuse this is foolishness!" Valdis yelled running past them.

They hesitated serafelle turned "Didn't you hear her run, don't get caught I will hold them off."

"No time for sympathy Valdis, think logically the others may not know but my defect will only hold you guys back, now mother and father are dead chaos will break lose in Silverston among the six kingdoms we mustn't let that happen."

All the black knights swords surrounded her "Don't move your highness."

"It is our duty to protect Alcon forget your bitterness, forget revenge, forget family get out of here and fight to save this nation that's what makes us Alcon, we rule this kingdom and no one can take it from us, that's what makes us the daughter's of the dragon."

Tears fell from their eyes and their hands shook with anger as they retreated back up the stairs.

The royal head guard Abel Aidar the third clapped "You are very brave your highness, I must give you that."

"What makes you think your sisters can escape the black knights?" He jested.

Serafelle lifted her chin determination a murderous glint in her eyes "Are you underestimating us because we are women? you'll regret that ser."

He smirked "Please, what can a pretty girl like you do? Seize her."

He turned his servants dropped a stool which he sat on.

She waited patiently for the first one to hold eye contact with her this would be her prey, she stared into his eyes "Only the smart know it's best to use cut hands to fight."

They looked at each other confused then she spoke to that one knight "Won't you cut their hands for me?"

He turned to his fellow soldiers and instantly attacked him slicing his hands off.

The man who's hand was cut off screamed shocking the others two more hands dropped to the ground as the knight lost his mind and fought with his fellows.

She smirked watching them clash swords piercing one another.

Abel looked confused for a moment before signalling more men to come in.

A new batch of soldiers trooped in attacking the rioting ones all the while taking their lives.

Serafelle was petrified "You killed your own soldiers?"

"I guess what they say about the Alcons is true, they are gifted." he cackled.

Serafelle smiled "Too bad you won't live to tell the tale."
