Description
"Hope comes from the ruins of old empires, like a phoenix from the ashes" For years the nations of Cara and Palmyra had an ever growing hatred for one another. Growing from a small neighboring discord, to a near lethal animosity. Cara, the more powerful, was ruled by a vain and strong willed king while Palmyra was tamed yet loving. The same love that would be its demise when Cara attacked its capitol. With the citizens of the nations now joined under one foot, the people grow tense. But nowhere is more tense then the walls of Cara's palace that now welcomed the war prisoner and princess of the late Palmyra, Evangeline Kingston. Evangeline was brought to the palace after the attack on her home where she now finds her self drowning in grief and guilt. She was the only survivor of her capitol only to be put on display like a trophy. Despite her hatred for the King, she finds her self at ease with the children of the Carain Court. She meets Foster Lewis, the captains son, more commonly named Fox for his red hair and equally fiery character. Caleb Capet, the son of the king and sole heir of Cara, who might be her future husband given he is the crown prince. Astoria Carter, the daughter of a Dutchess, who is a kind and loyal spirit who has an obvious fondness for Caleb. (Obvious to everyone but him) Erik Capet, the son of the kings younger brother and Fourth in line for the throne, a calculating and charismatic boy who's good looks don't go unnoticed by Evangeline. Lastly Odette Eliot, the daughter of a Lady, who's self righteous demeanor and power hungry mind sets an instant disliking to anyone she meets. While Evangeline tries to navigate her new life, she worries about her people. She hears whispers about a growing rebellion lead by her subjects but doesn't believe them until the palace is attacked. She relies on her new friends to search for a way to save the lives of both their people and find who is behind the rebellion.
