One heart can burn the way to freedom
Everyone knows you dont mess with the empire. Our tyrannical overlords rule our conquered kingdom with an iron fist. Even after they killed my parents and left me orphaned and ostracized, Ive swallowed my resentment. I survive by keeping my head down, scavenging the scraps my neighbors discard.
But when I see the empires soldiers destroying my mothers last sculpture in the town square, years of bottled rage boil over.
I never expect my sudden act of defiance to spark a full-out rebellion. Now Im at odds with the empires entire army with nothing but my wits and sheer stubbornness on my side. Well, that and three incredible men Im guarding my heart from, because they cant possibly want a nobody like me can they?
No one thinks I stand a chance, but Im done with cowering. Ill lead my country to freedom–or die trying.
