Remembrance

Astraea woke to a world on fire.

They told her she was the Chosen One. That she bore the legacy of a Fallen Star to push back the greedy void and the creatures that lived there. That it was her destiny.

They told her she had influence and power, that people would listen when she spoke, that they would do as she asked. That royalty wanted to marry her and that the world would be at her feet.

They told her that she had magic bright enough to slay monsters, strong enough to make the earth tremble. They told her that battle was in her veins, that she need only stand and fight.

They told her all of this.

She remembered nothing. Only that she woke, and the world was on fire. That she burned. And that her invisible past now stood in the way of her destined future.

Remembrance is a dark romantic fantasy about a Chosen One who doesn’t remember who she is, only that the stars have determined her destiny, and that the things she’s been told are not always what they seem.
