Black and Gold

by TheSaltyGrandma

Born into a society defined by the pureness of your blood, Eliot was raised to be a simple pawn in someone else's game. However, on trip to an old and noble house, she forms a friendship that alters fate as Black and Gold become intertwined forever. But dark times are ahead, and as a rebellion grows, she has to fight to save her world. And what war is ever won without sacrifice?

1. Prologue

Her hair was gold

Limp

Entwined in hands

Where blood ran cold

Eyes open but not seeing

Looking at them

As they were told

That she would never live to grow grey and old

-Anonymous (circa 1900)
