Soft rays of moonlight danced across the calm waters, silhouettes of children played beneath the beaming moon. The sky had set in a wonderful display of colour, but it deceived the world, for what was about to happen would be the most terrible…
Over the years the secret was kept, everyone held it close to their heart as if it would escape and cause great pain. The Queen of Haven was as beautiful as an angel, her kingdom shone of brilliance and love for all of her reign. The Queen had lived a short life, but she had lived. She had mothered two children a boy and a girl with a wonderful man, King Henry, The only terrible thing that Queen Gabriella had done in her life was leave it too soon. She had died over 16 years ago leaving a newborn baby and a young child motherless, King Henry had tried hard to care for his beloved children but he had found it hard after his wife's death, he died just 2 years after Queen Gabriella, many said of a broken heart. Their two orphaned children Prince Eric and Princess Larine were left in the care of a stranger, alone and confused, they forgot who they were and were also separated to live separate lives unknowing of their true identities.
Prince Eric became a son of a blacksmith and lived in the town of Devin in the outskirts of Haven, Haven ceased to be a heavenly kingdom as Gabriella's brother took control of the Kingdom, and the true heirs to the throne were forgotten and buried for almost twenty years. Eric lived with his false mother, father and 5 brothers; his family was extremely kind except for the fact that Eric's true identity or name had never been revealed to him, Eric had become to be known as Hadley Smith, the son of a blacksmith.
Princess Larine also had her name changed but to Laney when she had joined the Denser family who lived in the heart of Haven. Laney had lived her life as a servant in the household she was there to care for the family, her mother, father, uncle and two sisters. Laney lived her life grateful for what she had been blessed with, she had seen other girls with a much worse life and even though she had to cook, clean and care for the household and grounds she received in turn a home, a family and freedom.
For little over 16 years Hadley and Laney lived away from the royal family and away from each other, they believed to be dead lost in the great siege of the tower of Kenwick, and all this time their uncle led the kingdom into wars and destruction, the Kingdom had become to crumble beneath his reign.
This story is not how this world came to be, but how it would be taken back, and delivered into the rightful hands of the true heirs of Haven.
