THE PRIESTESS' PROPHECY

In the bustling kingdom of Natron, the royal family sits on a nearly 3 century old deadly tradition that has enabled them to stay in power ever since. It’s their tradition to sacrifice the first wives of the male royals to their gods, and it has always been done so. This tradition has been strictly confidential, sacrificing girls from poor unknown families by making them marry the royals, an offer they couldn’t refuse, only to end up dead on their wedding nights together with their families. This year, a royal wedding proposal reaches the grounds of the Heya household. Heya is a farmer and a father of two daughters; Kharivanpa and Sirene, Kharivanpa being the oldest at 28 years old while Sirene is 18. When the royal priests bring the good news to their doors, everyone expects it to be Kharivanpa’s call only to find out that it’s Sirene who’s been betrothed to the youngest son of King Bazi, prince Avana. What seems like the best news and opportunity is actually veiled by deadly conspiracies and motives, and it’s something Kharivanpa notices thanks to her grandmother’s warning. She can’t open up to her family about her bad feelings fearing that they might mistake her protective efforts for envy, and so she seeks for a way out elsewhere only to fail miserably. There’s only one way for Kharivanpa to save her family, and that is to answer the call of the gods and become the priestess, a tool for the gods to control and save humanity from the powerful evils that dwell beneath the surface. But that role comes with too many sacrifices that Khari isn’t ready for. But it’s the only way.
