Struggle – Synopsis

This is a short synopsis I wrote as an introduction to "Struggle", to introduce my novel on NaNoWriMo. I'm adding it here just because it's too long to put in the summary, so please do take a read if you'd like. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

The son of the ailing king shalt strike down the mad queen and rule over the blind sheep of this fateless land.

Prophecies foretell the fate of a country, person, or world. They are puzzled over, treasured, worshipped. Could such a holy passage go awry?

The prophecy was shaken by the discovery that the heir was in fact a girl, and not a boy. How is the land going to see brightness when the one who was meant to enlighten it failed to even meet the very first requirement?

Such is the story of Rawlins, who was meant to be the prophecized son of the faded king of Moira, but was discovered as being a girl days after being spirited away to a 'safe' location for her to be raised as the saviour of her homeland. How will this poor, unlucky maiden survive as misfortune continues to cross her path at every given moment?
