Fantasy Review
Enter the city of Hart's Hope, ruled by gods that are both powerful and indifferent,
riddled with sorcery and revenge. The city was captured by a rebellious lord,
Palicrovol, who overthrew the cruel king, Nasilee, hated by his people.
Palicrovol, too, was cruel, as befitted a king. He took the true mantle of kinghood
by forcing Asineth, now queen by her father's death, to marry him, raping her to
consummate the marriage. But he was not cruel enough to rule. He let her live
after her humiliation; live to bear a daughter; live to return from exile and retake
the throne of Hart's Hope.
But she, in turn, sent Palicrovol into exile to breed a son who would, in the name
of the gods, take back the kingdom from its cruel queen.
