The story revolves around Elly; a young girl who is training to become a Knight, and eventually a member of Ohr Shefa; the governing body for the Federation of Agrovia. Through her own journey to reach the rank of Paladin and someday, Sainthood; Elly is forced to confront the grim realities of the world and the sacrifices one must make to become strong. Impetuous and Naive; Elly comes face-to-face with adversaries and adversities which calls into question her own morals and positions. Learning the bleak nature of that which she most desires, Elly is faced with the choice of losing what she holds most dear or to gain the power needed to protect them; a goal that she may never achieve.
This is a concept novel based around my lore that I have been working on for the past 15 or so years, originally made for online roleplaying but eventually turned into a much larger project than originally intended. The novel itself has undergone several changes and reworks, but I am hoping to turn it into a several part series.
