The Half-Blood Brigade

Emerick is the half blooded bastard son of Arnwald the Sky Tyrant, ruler of the Esperion Kingdom of the Wyrmshire Empire. Though a prince, his mixed blood prevents him from inheriting his father's throne. Resigned to his evident fate as a caged bird, he is content to live a fruitless but privileged life... until a task from his father throws him in the path of Trixie, big sister to a group of orphans she calls the Half-blood Brigade. Ambition rekindled with blossoming romance and the injustice towards those of mixed blood, Emerick finds himself on the conqueror's path, Trixie and her rag tag family at his side.

 'You're still walking funny,' Lamya observed. 'Maybe you should sit down...'

After Emerick had kept her up until the wee hours of the morning, Esmyria had gone out of her way to summon her nice and early to review her work and touch on areas of improvement. Apparently her communication was lacking. Her solution to this problem was ordering Trixie to find a suitable Handmaiden. 

 'You know, the Queen is right, having a handmaiden would do you good.' Lamya pressed. 'I still say you nab that orc maid while the nabbing is good...'

 'You say a lot of things,' Trixie thought back with a roll of her eyes. 'I DON'T need some fussy gussed up lady with a superiority complex tailing me everywhere!'
