Chapter 1

The narrow dirt road leads through the busy town to a sprawling castle of clear glass deep in a forest. This holding, which belongs to a notorious king, abounds in dangerous wildlife. The midsized city is well-populated. It stands in the heart of the kingdom and is mainly constructed of stone. It is defended by spiked walls, and its most noteworthy feature is the beautiful central square. I’ve lived in the castle for all of my life.
