Description
The kingdom of Shozhki (shozh-kee). Within its strong stone walls reside hundreds of families of many classes and backgrounds. The peasants, who are very thin and wear dark, unrevealing clothing as a symbol of their low status. The commoners, who are only a bit less thin and wear clothes with a bit more colour and show a bit more skin. The merchants and clergy, who have an average body condition and wear robes of many colours, but those colours are still dark. The nobles, who wear fancy clothing with bright colors. The king and queen, who wear the nicest, more colourful clothes of anybody in the kingdom. Their five daughters, the princesses. Shozhki seems like a wonderful place to live. But within those strong stone walls are food shortages, starving people, and fighting. It seems that Shozhki is falling apart more and more every day, but outsiders mustn't know that. **WARNING: This book has strong potential to contain the following: - Strong language. - Graphic violence and injury depiction. - Death. - Sexual assault. - Child loss. - Self-harm/suicide. - And more.
