Leaves of Holly

A nobility corrupt with riches and greedAwoke the goddess with anger untoldBut out of the realm's desperate needA kitchen maid was to let matters unfold... The land of Mórceath is suffering. Crops are rotting and famine has spread throughout the realm causing great distress across the three provinces. The once magnificent kingdom is steadily declining magic is fading away and their connection to the Mother Goddess is at an all-time low. During a rare magical festival called The Reaping a group of Newcomers arrive in Mórceath from a distant world. Traditionally these Newcomers are set to work for the noble houses and are seen as little more than slaves. Among them we have Ivy; a gentle but anxious girl of nineteen who finds her new life in servitude very difficult. But more challenges await her. She will come to play a major part in unravelling the mystery of the rot that currently plagues the realm as well as possibly taking on an even greater task...if she proves herself worthy of it.
