Book Cover & Preview Text
“The emperor believes this village is against him, and set the mark on your house as the root of the subversion. Were you to live another week, you would see clearly what I say. In a week’s time, this village will be erupting in flames. The emperor has set his mark on it, and soon his minion troops, to lay desolation and destruction upon all. Do you not see the urgency? Are you selfish? Are you such a coward that you would let the innocent die? I believe you are brave. I know I have the right man. I see it in your obscured eyes by the glints of the moon that shine on them from time to time. Avenge yourself for the future that’s to come. Lay the wound upon the monster’s tyranny, that he understands that he will not go unpunished from the battlefield of his making! Rise up! You are to do a heroic deed. Upon you we count to lay the wound, and avenge us all.” “Why come to me? Why not announce it to all that we are in jeopardy?” “Such is not our mission. There are others who might do better at such a task. We come here for other ends. You are to go tomorrow to a place called Fairies’ Fields. There will be a person of importance, one they call the Princess with the Sweet Heart. You are to go there and show a father what it is to lose a child.”

About the Book
When the emperor of Braavadom, Ixalien Varlk, discovers he is to die soon, he sets in motion a plan that will keep the house of his ancestors at the helm of the empire. The throne is no longer hereditary, and that has haunted many emperors for a while. But Ixalien has arrived to a solution, one that is bound to change the course of history. He will force a group of lawmakers to make his daughter a queen. The young princess is ignorant of her father’s plans. Nurtured and spoiled from birth, she has little concern of what goes on around her and does not know that her father has just put her at the center of a dangerous world, where men struggle for power, proud men, who'll stop at nothing to possess a great crown—the one crown of the world, the crown of Braavadom.
