Two Kingdoms - Two Kings
>Born under a scarlet moon, Avianna Morningstar should have been revered and feared, as the prophecy proclaimed. But Avia is taken to a remote realm where she would be safe from the anarchy festering in the Kingdoms, meanwhile her potential as a sorceress is all but extinguished.
A sinfully attractive tracker is tasked with bringing Avia back to a homeland she has never known in hopes of awakening the power that has lain dormant within her.
The Kingdoms of Verdae and Inkwood are intrigued and unsettled by the sudden return of the king's illegitimate daughter. Troublesome is the coiling and churning of forbidden black magic throughout the land.
Piqued by the alleged prophecy, the council begins preparations for a Royal Tournament, a competition of magical skills and stamina intended to cull the incompetent. The ultimate sacrifice for weakness is death. In a desperate bid to survive, Avia must learn to unleash her powers.
Regardless, she soon discovers the tournament is a tactical diversion in order to assassinate the king and conquer Verdae. Avianna is merely a pawn in this treacherous realm.
