The Knowledgeable

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any to begin with. Only to drown further when they find power was not something they wished to wield in the beginning." When one falls, another must take their place. Harvie River is the one to take the place of the first Time Reader their kingdom had ever seen. It was something she had always hoped for. A purpose in this life. A way to pull her family above the rest. Only she finds this life to be nothing she hoped for and finally understand why, after centuries in the spotlight, her predecessor took his own life to escape it. If he even did at all.
