Blood Stains the Crown

By Sylvia Lucero

Are heroes and villains created? Do choices emerge from nothing?

We all have a past, stories that mold our decisions and guide our futures. The lives of those in the Gaylen Kingdom are no different. What was it that made Gaillard Gaylen resent his sister and choose the path of a villain? What was it that hardened Gewelianna Gaylen's resolve to reject her bloodline? And those around them, from heroic princes to guards with questionable loyalties, what formed their choices?

In this collection of six stories, five backstories and one glimpse into the future, those questions are answered. Listen and answer for yourself, do our pasts define us? Do they predict our futures, or simply guide who we become?
