We Follow the Sun

THE ADVENTURE BEFORE THE SPINNING WHEEL

Lavenwrite is the Queen of Varalah and the mother of a princess destined to prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel. All she wants is to be respected and make the world a better place, but it seems like the very world she is trying to save is against her. But her dreams and her kingdom are put in peril when she is poisoned and begins to shrink out of existence. Eager to save her home as well as herself, Lavenwrite must race to undo the plot to take over the throne, and an all evil, revenge-seeking sorceress won’t make her journey any easier.

Sunvi, a royal maid who secretly likes the King, is chosen by the Queen to step up and help protect the throne. However, the Sapphire Cartel, a worldwide organization intent to kill all people with magic like her, is rising out of the shadows and Sunvi must find a way to stop their deadly intentions. The lives of all magicd people in Varalah and the future of the kingdom depend on her success. But will her magic be a blessing or a curse?

Only one thing is set in stone: nothing will stay the same.
