Juliyva always wanted an adventure; untameable and proud an average life as the daughter of a count couldn’t possibly satisfy her. Drale never stopped craving for something he didn’t even know the name of, something away from his village, away from the fields of wheat.

This is the story of the famous bard and the forsaken soldier, of the rich merchant and the nameless beggar, of the rightful emperor and the opportunistic usurper.

Let us hear the story, no, the history of those who shall be chanted in ballads for eons and those who will be forever forgotten.
Because sometimes the brightest light, casts the deepest shadow.

This is a classic Fantasy story set in a fictional setting.
My aim is to tell you a story that hopefully leaves something behind, something to think about while taking nothing away from action, drama and romance.

-Hello there! It’s NVY here, I sincerely hope you will find my work entertaining. If you enjoy my work or not please be sure to leave a review :D   
Just wanted to remind you that the auxiliary volume makes up the prologue and is necessary to me to set up the stage, if you find them slow you can easily skip them because i will go over the important things in the normal chapters as well.

Every analogy and or reference to real world events, people or organisations is purely casual.
Or maybe not, who knows.
