In the world of Ntur, four queens are summoning the courage to step into the Lake of the Dead, for in the lake’s heart is a colossal crystal, which can ultimately bestow the power to control Ntur and all of its inhabitants. Prophecy states the crystal is obtainable two ways: by direct contact, or by conquering the other kingdoms. Reaching the crystal is nearly impossible; the waters are inhabited by hydras, selkies, sprites, nymphs, and sirens. One step into their domain and they will entice you to your death.
Queen Raewen of the South has decided it is time for somebody to step forward. Somebody who can control the crystal and the remainder of the kingdoms. Other than trespassing in the Lake of the Dead, the only option is to claim the remaining three kingdoms as hers. Except the Doctrine of Peace, signed during the Age of Blood, states that no queen can enter another’s kingdom unless invited or on a matter of political importance. Breaking the Doctrine of Peace has a severe and absolute consequence—death.
Either way, somebody is going to die. Let the battles begin.
