'HART IS TORN BETWEEN HER TWO HALVES...

'In counsel with the mystic hag, Hart is delivered some prophetic messages and hard truths, for she knows it's time to face her fears. One being the dragon that resides within her deepest subconsciousness. 

'On one hand, Hart knows she has an obligation to her family and kingdom. She must marry to see her family happy and fulfill her role. Yet, on the other hand, Hart has been protecting the forest Cinnabar, a task only she has been deemed capable of.

'When danger looms, Hart must reconcile her split within to have any hope of saving the forest and kingdom. Forced to look inward while larger prophecies are at play, will Hart rise or fall against the odds?

'Can Hart carry this burden alone, as she must, or will the Cinnabar be destroyed forever?' (Publication summary)

It's a spiral of constant flow.' (Publication Summary)
