In a world where the supernatural were banished, where ordinaries ruled, many still roamed in the streets of the Kingdom of Avatika,hiding their true nature while they fought to survive. Being forced to live in a world of make-believe, where the odd-ones-out are believed to be a plague that are sickening the people and the land they walk on. Infecting the innocent.

While most believed the web of lies the king had spun, Prince Azriel on the other hand was different. Even as the enforcer whose very job is to rid the world of these supernaturals,he didn't believe in the lies his father made to keep himself safe and in power. For the kingdom,his father screamed. For the people,his father spoke. For the family,his father said. What sorry excuses. His brother Kieran on the other hand,was just like everyone else. Following in his father's footsteps. Like father like son, as they say. Maybe that's why he was made crown prince instead of himself.

The Trials that took place every 10 years was just a show your father put on for the people. Forcing either the supernaturals that were kept prisoner to fight to the death with freedom as their only prize, or making the people themselves fight in a competition of brains and brawns for simple entertainment. Though it was clear your father just used the latter as a way to search for his replacement. Either way, it was pathetic.

But that reason is exactly why Azriel wanted to put a stop to the torture and expose his father's lies.
