Crownless ─ Tales of the Banished

My tale is a coming of age story where a girl must find herself whilst sent away from her parents into a feared and magical land. She struggles under the curse of a spell, the true purpose of which (unbeknownst to her) is to influence prophecy that names her as a key player of doom or deliverance. Accompanied by unlikely friends and mysterious acquaintances she adventures into the natural wonders of the unknown to discover an ancient race of people in dire need of her help. She races against time and destiny to free their souls battling against nature and struggling against her fate. In the end she must choose between a first love and an abiding friendship, what is right and what is easy, between loyalty and apathy for those who have turned against her, and learn to find her own happily ever after.
