The Weight of Rhyfelwyr

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

The Rhyfelwyr empire has ruled over Adestria for 500 years. Known for being brutal conquerors, generations of kings slowly expanded their rule over most of the continent, slaughtering countless bloodlines. Elysia is the last free country on the continent and the only country to defeat Adestria's armies. Raela Rhyfelwyr is the first female heir to the throne who's spent her entire life fighting to prove her worth. The 21-year-old spends most of her time training with her warriors, hoping to become the most feared Rhyfelwyr in history. When her father decided it's time to test her, a Rhyfelwyr tradition used for heirs to prove their worth, he gives her an impossible task: conquer Elysia. The bloodthirsty princess has 12 moons to befriend Prince Theon of Elysia, and then kill his entire family. Except, the more time she spends in Elysia, the more she starts to doubt her own beliefs and upbringing. She's faced with an impossible decision: honor the friendships she's forged or fulfill her dreams of being the most infamous Rhyfelwyr in history.

Introduction

Hi y’all! First, I just want to thank you for reading my story. Being an author is a childhood dream I’m finally starting to pursue, so it means a lot that anyone is interacting with my work.

Before you dive into Raela’s story, I want to address a few things.

1. This story is mostly unedited. I have a terrible habit of spending so much time editing a single chapter that I make no progress on a story. This is my attempt to beat that, so bear with me.

2. Because I’m publishing this as I go, the plot will probably shift around. I’ve pre-written a couple of chapters and already abandoned the original plotline I planned out. Again, please bear with me.

3. While I am a professional writer (I’m a journalist), this is my first attempt at writing fantasy. I know the diction doesn’t read like a fantasy novel, that’s something I will fix during my rewrite.

Lastly, this story is my intellectual property. If you see someone reproducing my work or stealing my characters, please let me know.
