The Dark side of the moon
Volume I
In the kingdom of Syrius, the Montenaibre dynasty has reigned for centuries. The kingdom is peaceful, and prosperous. The rulers of Syrius are envied by all for their unmatched power. They owe this power to their shadow, their “blood magician”. This devoted being serves as their bulwark, making them virtually invulnerable.
In a world where magic is rare to come by, the blood magician is an undeniable asset. The current ruler, Claire Montenaibre de Hautugur, is a queen who is a symbol of perfection, looking almost divine with her grace, beauty, and invulnerability. She owes it all to her blood magician, Princess Nyria Montenaibre de Basugur. However, just as the two are giving birth to the next generation of Montenaibre ruler, and magician, Claire orders Nyria to die. She gives away her only source of power.
This story starts as it ends, with this irreversible act. And since the end is known... the reasons that led to it are revealed to you through the eyes of several protagonists: a goddess, a proud queen, a princess enslaved by her queen, another princess enslaved by her fears, a royal servant, a mage devoted to his kingdom, and finally a man with a mysterious past. As the story unfolds, the reader discovers a reflection on free will, and fate.
