Abstract

"The Reign of Fire and Blood" tells the story of a world where the goddess Mother Nature created two species: the fae and the humans. The fae decided to enslave humans after centuries of war despite Mother Nature’s warning that a curse would be placed upon the fae if they did so. The novel takes place from the perspective of Gwyn Anora, the princess of the fae, and Raina Starling, a human who has become a servant to the princess after waking up with no memory of who she is. Despite Gwyn’s hatred of humans and Raina’s disgust at the fae’s treatment of humans, a romance begins to bloom between the two of them. Meanwhile, the threat of war is brewing; the humans who are not enslaved are a part of the Rebellion, and there is the constant
fear that the curse Mother Nature has placed upon the fae will rear
its ugly head.
