It has been ten years. Ten whole years since I was brought here. I was around eight when King Rowan Wanaworth found me lying unconscious near a river while he was hunting deep in the woods. When I opened my eyes, I had no memories. I didn’t know my name, where I came from, or if anyone out there was searching for me. I was no one. So King Rowan gave me a name, a home, and a family.

"I will touch the stars... or die trying." ==================== Note: NO R-18, R**e, Romance or pre-marital handholding. I take no pleasure in writing such things. There's a bunch of killing and gruesome descriptions though. The novel is a bit slow in the first chapters, but after that, it picks up and gets significantly better. Also, the power system is similar to BotDS, but I've asked the author for permission to use it. It's also heavily inspired my writing, but the beginning is where its most prevalent.
