THE SILVER WAR
" Princess of Silverose, chosen by the gods. The child to bring honor to her people, a daughter to whom her mother is most proud." She lifted her eyes to the twilit sky in defeat. " But it means nothing now. I'm an outcast, a disgrace. I failed before I even started. I let my people down. I dishonored my mother."
Nadia Valaska was only twelve when she witnessed her mother, the queen, being killed but when the murderer Is a part of her family, who then can she trust? For her protection, Nadia had to be snuck out of the kingdom by her handmaiden in the heat of chaos, with hopes that once conflict within silverose settled, she would return to reclaim what was rightfully hers. But as soon as she fled, more innocent lives were snatched away, the streets littered with bodies; men, women, and children alike. No one was spared. The air reeked of the stench of fresh blood, and the walls echoed with the screams of the slaughtered. The kingdom fell, the late queen's reign along with it and it was reborn with a power greater than any; one of strength, one of hate. One of metal.
She was a warrior princess seeking to reclaim her nation, to regain the power to disenthrall her people but most especially, she wanted to avenge her mother's death but her plans hit an unexpected gridlock when she encountered a man given the task to capture and retrieve her to the palace at the command of the prime minister's son, the general. She was an immigrant hiding in an unfamiliar border so naturally, she was unyielding. The fact that a person like the general would send a bounty hunter after her, spelled nothing but trouble. So she did what she knew how to do best. She fought.
A former fisherman's son, bounty Hunter, a mercenary, orphaned by the century-long war; Azuel was known for several things. After decades of fighting a grueling war, the country of Sanscar plummeted into revolting poverty, leaving the locals striving for food, struggling to live. And after losing his brother and father to the war, Azuel's entire existence now hinges on one task alone. To care for his niece no matter what.
The pain that came with grief and the desire for vengeance, had a way of bonding souls together. Without anything left to anchor Azuel to Estora, he fled to join Nadia in her quest to take down the bane of their existence; the silver witch. They were both aware that the task was far from being an easy one but little did they know that a pursuit of revenge would quickly morph into a journey to save the world.
