The Potentate

Morrigan is an ordinary citizen living in the thriving country of Leith. She has spent her entire life tending to her farm, a task passed on to her ever since her mother was kidnapped from their home. Impressionable, intelligent, and very naive, she struggles to find treatment for her terminally ill father, especially as the entire government has cracked down on the ordinary citizens with the worsening famine.  In a world forced into an oppressive binary between those who have magical powers and those that do not, Morrigan struggles to navigate her life after discovering that she has a power — a power that no one has heard of. As she uncovers family and government secrets, she's forced to make a decision between those she loves and revenge on the world. What to expect: A dark, slow-burn fantasy. There will be a lot of focus on characters and their psychological and moral values. The plot will be heavily intertwined within each chapter, and as it continues, more and more secrets will be revealed. There will be more action scenes as the plot progresses.
