The Maiden of the Sun

In a world where an Iron Empire stretches across a continent there is a land on the other side of the great sea. A land where fae queens sit on thrones of glass and gold, and the faeries dance through the forests. A land where little folk live underfoot and sprites flit about the canopy. Where the things that go bump in the night wander and trees can grow beneath mountains. Come to a land where legends are made flesh, come to Dianais and see what awaits you. Watch as the three lost queens, heirs to an ancient power, are thrown out of their lives and onto the path that leads home. Cinis Sarnifease, the King's blade has been a hunter for so long, but when someone from her past takes off her mask she is forced to confront the life she ignored. Lily Crescentre has been living in a brothel for ten years, but when her madame decides that she needs money for rent and sells Lily as a slave to the mines Lily is shown the plight of the world that was stolen from her. Elexis Hynopae, leader of the rebellion against Galcinar, and a Queen of Altoness, the summoner of the tides and storms, has discovered that her sister previously thought to be held captive might in fact be someone entirely different, now she is forced to take action to save someone she thought she wanted dead.

Prologue: Clipped Wings

The girl had been here only a few days, only a few days and yet it seemed so much had changed. Aspen, he was different from when he had left, it had been only a month or two and yet he seemed so changed. He often came back different when dealing with mortals, they all did, more impatient and irritable. But this was different.

The girl was still asleep and they could see the ugly metal burned into her back and the nurse made to carve it out. The woman was a healer but with a wound like this there would be no way to keep it from scaring. Saron had helped with removing the metal, guiding the healer to where small shavings or pieces remained before she began to heal over the wounds. They left deep ugly grooves in the girl's back. After a few minutes the healers had said the rest the girl would have to do on her own though it looked to them like the slightest movement would tear the wounds pen again.

Now they watched from a window, looking at this girl their queen had ordered brought to her and with such haste. And she thought that the girl seemed awfully small for someone Queen Aine believed would soon loom so large
