Once Upon a Reimagining

A beautiful Empress lived in a moonlit castle by the sea. Each year she blessed the land that she owned, and rewarded her loyal subjects with long life. But sometimes, she came at the winter festival, to take a spouse.Arlen had always been fascinated by the dark Empress, and he was excited to be picked. Little did he know that his curiosity would be the cause of his end….Seth never forgave the Empress for the taking of his friend, and swore revenge. At last, after many years of waiting, he offered himself in disguise, pretending to be a lord from another realm.He entered the Moon Palace with plots of revenge in his heart, but before long he must choose between loyalties and fight unknown dangers to save the castle from destruction, and save himself. Eryn was born and raised in Oxford, UK but nowadays lives in South Germany with their young family. They have a great dream to travel and visit all the great mountains and lakes of the world. They are a qualified History and English teacher, working freelance with international students. They write both poetry books and fantasy stories. They have a particular passion for mythology and dragons! They have been writing poetry since they were 16, including Middle-Earth fan poetry that has appeared in the Tolkien Society's publication, the Amon Hen. They have also appeared in the Music Anthology from the Sweety Cat Press. In addition to writing poetry they study with the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids to be a druid, and are working on two fantasy series. One of which appears to involve steampunk, sky pirates, astral travel and lots of dragons, and the other has a more dystopian bent.
