The Story
“How can a just and immortal king allow the islands of Sephia to be so broken?”
This question has haunted Delina since childhood, when her parents told her the story of Sephia. But when the mayor of her village is assassinated and her parents send her to a school for martial arts, she discovers some answers. Finally, she finds a way out of the painful experiences of her childhood that prevent her from becoming the warrior she always wanted to be. But what does the king's golden sword have to do with the realization of her childhood dream? Delina must decide: should she follow her parents' teachings and submit to an absent king, or should she strive for her own freedom? But what price will she pay if she strays from the path her parents have set for her?

A hand illustrated glimpse into my first chapter:
Protagonist
Having grown up as an outsider in her village, the ambitious Delina wants nothing more than to master Guerra’s martial arts. But the painful memories of her childhood prevent her from mastering the blade. When her teacher, Saymour, gives her a new perspective on her father’s stories, she begins to make progress, but fulfilling her childhood dream comes at a price.
Father, Mentor
The charismatic and idealistic William and his wife Edith are convinced that the King in the East exists and has good intentions toward Sephia. They hope their daughter will come to understand this as well, but an assassination attempt on their village’s mayor thwarts their plans.
Classmate
For the superficial Alecia, the world revolves around the boy she is in love with. But her unrequited love drives her to make unwise decisions. She embarks on a journey in which she is confronted with a bitter and merciless reality.
Teacher, Mentor
Having grown up in a home where achievement took precedence over love, the teacher at the martial arts school soon learned that the king cared little for his suffering. Thanks to his excellent martial arts training, there is little that can convince him otherwise. But then Delina, the daughter of his mentor from his youth, appears. And with her, he finds a contradiction in his worldview.
