The King is Dead. Long live individuals.

Mareth is a bard, serial underachiever, professional drunk, and general disappointment to his father. Despite this, Mareth has one thing going for him. He can smell chance. The King is usually inactive and an election for the brand new Lord Protector has been known as. If he has his cards best, sings a tale that will place the proper person for the reason that seat, his future popularity and drinking cash are all but assured. But, alas, Mareth has a conscience in the end. Neenahwi is certainly about Kingshold the daughter of Jyuth, the ancient wizard who founded the kingdom of Edland and she is not happy. It’s not that her dad was the main one who wiped out the Ruler, or that he didn’t inform her about his programs. She’s not happy because her dad is leaving, slinking off into pension and now she gets to completely clean up his clutter. Alana is normally a servant on the palace as well as the unlucky soul who has to focus on Jyuth. Alana understands that cleverness and interest aren’t respected in someone of her place, but occasionally she can’t help herself. Therefore she discovers herself drawn into the Wizard’s schemes.

Chance brings this unlikely band together to battle through civil unrest, assassinations, political machinations, pirates, and monsters, all to get a common cause that they know, deep down, does not have any potential for succeeding-bringing hope to the people of Kingshold.
