[FEATURED BY @YAFantasy] One run-away prince, two die-hard scientists, magic that may-or-may-not be real, and a land that wasn't supposed to exist. Welcome to Avadel. * * * Researchers Leavi Riveirre and Sean Rahkifellar want nothing more than to study how the cogs of the universe click together. When a plague unleashes inside their underground city, though, no amount of science can stop it. Determined not to be among the rising count of corpses, they flee. However, surviving topside will require more than just facing the brutal winter. If they want to make it, they'll have to relearn every fact they ever thought they knew. Prince Aster Jacques is destined to lead all the magicians of Morineaux. But no matter how many tomes he reads or how many times he practices to exhaustion, he remains a poor excuse for a wizard. Desperate to be the magician his country needs, he's willing to do whatever it takes-even if that means abandoning his kingdom to follow a mysterious note to a foreign one. When these three's paths twist together, they must learn to trust each other if they want any chance at a future. *~AWARDS~* 1st Overall - The Monthly Gemstone Awards - LIGHTNING ROUNDS - Wand Awards 1st in Fantasy - Piggyback Summer 2019 - Writers' Choice 2019 - The Black Cat 2019 - Winter Rose 2019 - The Life Elements - 2020 Punk Rock - The Privus 2020 - The Holiday - ILoveAwards - ECAwards 1st in Action/Adventure - Black and Gold Leaf 2019 - World of Champions 2 - The Court of Miracles - The Sass 2019 1st in Adventure - Fallen Angel 2018 - The Midnight - The Peacock 1st in Grammar/Spelling - Bedtime Stories Summer 2019 1st in Action - The Flavored 2019 *~CREDIT~* Much thanks to @lionobsession, @katianaelyse, @DeltaTangoEthan, @IWJKeller, and @WriterKellie for editing.
