“For over two hundred years, the island of Xayawak has been a crucial colony for the Kingdom of Saxol, producing the rum, tobacco, and manacores that have helped drive the Kingdom’s current era of unprecedented growth and expansion. A tropical island in the Keridian Sea, Xayawak boasts lush forests, stunning beaches, and a variety of beasts and monsters that exist nowhere else on the planet. The informed traveler can enjoy a refined culture that rivals Saxol itself—including a fully functional implementation of the Imperial System—while still experiencing the spectacle of the exotic beliefs and society of the liberated muwalla populace.” -From The Well-Bred Traveler’s Guide to Xayawak   A young mage of mixed blood, caught up in the politics of Xayawak’s most elite school for the study of magecraft. A muwalla woman with a checkered past, now working as a maid to provide for her family in the slums. A magical cat with the memories of another life as a human, trying to survive in a dangerous and unfamiliar world. Providence will bring these three together, a convergence that will change Xayawak forever. ~*~*~*~*~ This is my first story on RoyalRoad, although it's far from the first story that I've written.
