The Fairest Raven
Omtale
My father gave me my name with his dying breath. Branwenn. A name meant to bring great renown to our family. Pity I would be using it to burn the very family he loved so dearly to the ground.

They say that history is written by the victors, and that was exactly what Branwenn intended to be. As an orphan dumped to the streets to fend for herself, she learned to be ruthless. Anything to survive. And when she catches the eye of the most prominent noble in the empire, she takes hold of his outstretched hand to raise herself from pitiful to formidable. Seven years later, and the time has finally come to repay that debt. Her only two goals in mind: destroy what remained of her family and place Slade Etherean upon the throne of Hirondelle. Driven by vengeance for those she lost and loyalty toward the man who gave her an opportunity to enact her revenge, Branwenn believed everything she wanted was finally within her grasp. But when betrayal from within their rebellion leads them to flee from the very land they wished to liberate, her goals seem to be the furthest they have ever been. Amidst a failing resistance and the fraying minds of her closest friends, the future has never been more uncertain. Yet, the fact remains that Branwenn would rather die trying to dethrone the emperor with her friends by her side than lay down like a dog at his feet. And there is only one place in all of Aeshivar where the emperor cannot reach, a land where few have dared to venture and even fewer have returned from alive. The eternal winter wasteland: Uhyrlig. However, in the depths of the snowscape, there is something else waiting for them. There is a power that has laid dormant since humanity's conception. A power that could alter Fate itself. And at the center of it all, a mysterious girl who is unlike anyone Branwenn has ever known. A girl who makes her question everything she has come to believe. Who has the ability to make her entire world come crashing down. Branwenn finds herself at a crossroads: stay true to her ideals and follow this rebellion through to the end, or follow the path her heart has carved out in this strange new world. But, in a world governed by Fate, does anything truly have the freedom of choice? In this prequel to The Black Rose, the story of the founding of Etherea and the rebellion that shattered the continent is told. It is where the legends of the Liberation King and the hero known as the Fair Raven are built. Just remember, history is written by the victors.
