Tales of the Throne: Queen

For thousands of years now, queens have been ruling our kingdom. When a Queen's reign has come to an end, a successor must be chosen by what we now know as The Rule of Cardinal. Miss Katherina Daventin, a young naive and innocent girl, has been chosen by the Cardinal to rule over the people of Nydisia. In a world where supernatural beings have not been kept a secret, she struggles to prove herself as a human chosen to rule a multitude of diverse creatures. Lucian Williams, one of the strongest beings to walk the earth, and the son of Queen Orizelle, fights alongside Katherine to help her stake her claim to the throne as it is his duty as the General of Nydisia, and slowly love surpasses duty. --STILL UNDERGOING EDITING-- [Current word count: 150,000-200,000] *This is a slow burn book, it is not going to be rushed as you will see a lot of character development and growth in the plot at a steady pace.* Disclaimer: This cover does not belong to the author.

The Trial Part 2

--The Nydisian Kingdom, The Castle, The Ground Floor--

It was well into midnight as Alexander and Katherine walked down the castle hallways, heading straight to the dungeons. The cloaks both Alexander and Katherine had worn kept their faces hidden.

Alexander's hand was raised as he held the torch high enough to illuminate their surroundings. 

"What of the guards? Will they not alert the council if they see us?" Katherine asked worriedly as she tried keeping up with Alexander's fast pace. 

"Don't slow down and they won't," Alexander had waited until most of the council members had retired, so the chances of being seen were reduced.

The dungeons were an entirely separate section of the castle, it was almost secluded in a way. The hallways became darker and narrower, the stench in the area was horrid. The metallic smell of blood reeked so strong that Katherine had to resist the urge to gag.
