Avalon, First Among Equals and Beast-King of the Evergreen, reigned for a thousand years, but even ageless immortals must succumb to the ravages of war. Reincarnated into the world of Man as one of its weakling offspring, he grasps at the faded embers of his power. As Avalon, proud and mighty centaur, he brought death with bow and magic, and crushed bone beneath his hooves. As Aurora, a sickly girl-child of sixteen years, he must flee death and assert his dominance over a world of mortal clay to forge a new sanctuary. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
