Rise of the Sylvain King "Oberon"
Thousands of years ago, amidst the chaos of the great collapse, the royal family of Sylvain fell. Now the once proud nation is little more than a fragmented remnant of its former glory ruled by a council of high families wearing gilded smiles masking cruel and malevolent natures roiling beneath the surface. In the shadows, a cult conspires, pitting the high families against each other and reveling in the collateral damage. If this weren't bad enough, tension is high as revolution stirs in the neighboring kingdoms. And yet, hope is not lost.
Faith begins to rekindle as the woods begin to whisper. The slumbering Sylvain Forest is now awake. Candidates vie for the Bramble Throne hidden deep within its depths. Some seek glory, wealth, or fame. Others seek power. Most only find death. And then, there was Zephyr.
Nothing but the taboo outcast, Zephyr exists on the streets, skulking in the shadows of alleys and gutters to avoid the harsh words, stoney glares, and other methods of abuse hurled his way. The throne and all of the attention that came with it held no appeal. No, what was a fancy seat or a shiny head band to someone despised by all? Zephyr longed more for freedom and love. Despite his best efforts, the cursed urchin finds himself at the heart of the compitition as fate throws him in the path of an ambitious young woman. Now, Zephyr must reach the finish line, or face a fate far worse than death.
