Royal Magpie's Oath

By: Lanius, V. L.

Ships disappear in distant waters.

Tales from hollow-eyed witnesses;

a cloud of death that left few survivors.

And inside the royal bloodline,

an ancient entity stirs...

This isn't an adventure.

This is a story of healing, of desperate resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. A tale of three dear souls, who must overcome their fears and traumas, learn to live, and trust, and fall in love. A song of the machinations of deities and the defiance of mortals. Of simple pleasures and unending pain.

Of romance, bravery, fear, and power.

A story of a mighty prince and paladin, haunted by what he's become.

A tale of a fearsome dragon, in the shadow of her mother's legacy.

A song of a talented bard and shapeshifter, fleeing their true nature.

And, at the center, a myth older than an empire, a legend obscured by time.

As for me, it's about revenge. My old enemy has returned. He won't kill me this time. I will tear out my feathers and bloody my fangs to ensure he can never hurt anyone again.

It's not that simple, of course. It's never been easy to save the world.

But I'm not the main character. That's those three over there. So please spend some time with them for a little while.

I promise you won't regret it.
