Blue Crystal
In a sunless ice-world where cities are built underground, Vastii is a corrupt, dirty metropolis ripe with gangs, mercenaries, rebellion, and scheming politicians. To suppress an uprising in the west, the king took his own niece, Wyrren Jadis, as a political hostage. Officially, her presence will ensure her father’s loyalty to a king that he never cared for. The king never mentioned that he intends to use Wyrren to accuse her father of murder.
Forced into a strange city with only a few companions, the king’s niece is seen as an easy way to the king’s ear or a weapon against the monarchy. But Wyrren loves freedom more than comfort or safety, and is prepared to fight for it.
Blue Crystal is written for an adult audience who enjoys action, intrigue, and low-fantasy. The zero draft is complete at 52,000 words, and the first draft is in progress.
