Behind These Wounds

Our city is crumbling.

Ever since King Hadley died, and King Thorn-in-my-side took over, the city is the very definition of bloody hell. The soldiers have been told to kill anyone who disobeys them, Thorn is going insane with power, and the poor are getting sicker, and the illness is spreading. Thorn doesn't give a crap about any of that, he just wants power over the city with the most jewels and gold and riches.

So he sent me as an insider. Me, Nathaniel, the orphan kid. My mission is to poison the soon-to-be Queen Arielle Amélie and kill her before she's officially crowned as Queen.

But, the mission isn't so easy as planned because my stupid heart won't cooperate with my brain.
