The Forgotten Queen

Prologue

Prologue

Apr 10, 2021

Life is a game.

Some will win, and some will lose.

Some will have advantages, and some will have obstacles.

Some will live, and some will die.

Life is nothing more than a game of dice. If you are born into power, then you win. If you are born to a peasant, then you lose. There may be an anomaly, but how much of an impact can one person impede the outcome of a game?

How did someone that died become that anomaly? How could that person play with the lives of others like a puppeteer fiddling with their marionettes? Is it possible that one person can take lives within the snap of their fingers?

 Can one person take the lives of many while still rolling that poor hand of dice?

I am proof. I am that anomaly. I once dreamed of being normal; I accepted my fate of being a mere peasant. I know that my death was to be nothing more than a drop in the bucket. No one would mourn for me. There would be no flowers at my grave, no possessions to give to my family, and no thought spared in my direction. 

There is just a small issue with that idea. I am not dead.

Not anymore, at least.

My name is Alice Bennet, and I am a monster.

First Draft completed

---

Alice Bennet was murdered, but death doesn't come too easy to those who want revenge.

---

In a kingdom of men and magic, there lies a caste system so strict that one step out of bounds can lead to certain punishment or even death. Within this system lies Alice Bennet and her mother, Mary Bennet, as they struggle to afford every single meal that pasts their lips. The two juggle various jobs just to stay alive. Yet, things fall apart when Alice is invited to the Gala.

Once a year, special guests are selected to be a part of the Gala. It signifies the start of a new year, to bring luck and good fortune to everyone who attends. Alice ponders why she, a mere peasant, has been selected to be in the presence of royalty.

More questions arise when she feels the many pairs of eyes watching her every step. Alice is a simple girl just trying to keep her mother and herself alive, but it seems that fate has paved out a very different path in her life.

A battle is brewing on the horizon, and Alice is trapped in midst of it.
