The Crown's Heir

BOOK 1

THE PAST AND THE UNKNOWN

********************************************

"Viera"

"Yes mother"

"Come my child" Queen Vena tapped the bed "let me tell you a story"

"They say the last dragons died during the war of the first five kings, but not all were vanquished during the era of conquest. What many hadn't notice was two dragons fleeing the battle after their riders fell to their death. Those who saw had gone in search for them, not many returned.

For to find the last dragons, you must travel the dreadful narrow sea, through the waters of siren and past the dunes of voices, then, to the eastern end, you shall see a small island, on that island the dragons you shall find"

"How do you know this mother?"

The queen smiled at her daughter of five years of age. The girl was little only by age but not wisdom. Smiling she replied. "Of the few that returned alive, one man succeeded in finding them" she said, and then stared out the window, into the distance. "My great grand father"

***************

In a world where a woman could never rule, Viera's claim to the throne is given to her father's closest male descendant, her uncle, the tyrant prince Odis, who sent her on exile on a whim, after ascending the throne. With her sworn knights, and army, she left the kingdom on her ancestral ship 'the black trident'.

Determined to take back her rightful crown, and with only a little army of two hundred men, not many enough to challenge her uncle's seat as king, the princess set out with her knights, to find the last dragons, for no army could rival a dragon. But as they sail beyond the clear sea, they are soon confronted by the forces that lies in the outlands, forces that threatens to take their lives.
