Chapter 1 Summary: “Nyra”

Content Warning: Both the source text and this guide contain descriptions of violence, murder, torture, abuse, child loss, dubious consent, and sexual assault.

Nyra, the fae daughter of King Roan, is afflicted by a lack of magic and has escaped from her father’s palace. She now lives a rough life on the streets in the Kingdom of Marmoris. Trying to avoid any palace guards, Nyra sneaks across a crowded bridge toward an alley that is bustling with market stalls. She looks up at the castle and thinks of her past.

Her father, King Roan, had hidden her away in a tower in the castle. When Nyra was young, she thought that he did this to keep her safe from harm, but she later realized that her father wanted to hide the fact that she had no magical abilities. When she turned 10 and still had no magic, her parents forced her to hide her lack of magical talent. Her mother died when Nyra was still young, and her father began to look at her with resentment. Her father is a cruel king who demands a tithe of magic from every citizen in the kingdom.
