Silver Crowns

Loumotiem was in their golden age. The city was ruled over by a royal family filled with blessed souls, all gifted with the ability to move and control metal to their free will. Legends of the kingdom passed down from generation to generation had described the royal family to be descendants of gods who had come down to the mortal world thousands of years ago, their sacred bloodline now mixed with the mere humans of this world. Princess Elixane never did believe in her family’s history for she knew the way they rose to power. As peaceful as the royal family might appear to be, hundreds of years ago, they had used their god-like abilities to slaughter lives by the millions to attain ultimate power. When a rebel force revealed themselves against the throne, wishing to take back what was rightfully theirs, Elixane was forced to flee from her kingdom, taking refuge in a nearby village where she met a humble swordsmith who might be more than he seemed. Sparks fly from both the clash of swords and the collision of hearts. Will Elixane be able to regain her formal glory and peaceful life? Or will Loumotiem crash and burn, turning into ruin in the hands of a tyrannical new ruler? --- Image used in cover not mine.
