Description

Sunflower is only one of several women chosen from a young age to be trained as bodyguards for Queen Demetria due to her resemblance to the young ruler. Over the years the Sisters have stopped numerous assasintination attempts by King Narcissus, the ruler of a immortal race of giants whose kingdom borders their own. During the latest attept, however, one of the Sisters manages to kill their attacker proving finally that the Deathless ones can in fact die. With this, the queen comes up with an idea to be rid of her enemy once and for all. Demetria offers herself as a willing bride...and sends Sunflower instead with the promise that should she succeed in murdering King Narcissus, she and her Sisters will be set free of their servitude. If she can make it back alive. "Sunflower" is a loose retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth inspired by all the many versions of the story that mention Persephone playing with nymphs in her mother's gardens before being stolen away.
