Crown Of Thorns Chapter 1

Chapter 0 – PROLOGUE
Translator & editor : Cuties
A long long time ago in a faraway country there lived a witch. She was very evil. Just looking at the witch made from darkness was enough to send people shivering with fear. But the people in that country were very nice and kind, so they got along with her.
But the evil witch put a curse on those people. The peaceful and happy country was quickly enveloped in darkness and terrible monsters began to appear. The people fought back, but they couldn’t counter the power of a witch.
Eventually, the world became a bloodbath, and people groaned from fear and pain. The helpless king gathered the heroes of the country and ordered them to kill the witch.
“You can get rid of this misery as long as the witch dies!”
The warriors began to kill the witch. They stabbed her, burned her, put her in boiling oil, crucified her, strung her from the neck, and starved her for days, but the witch continuously survived.
They tried whatever method to kill the witch, but she was always revived and the warriors either left or died one by one over time. The witch’s curse still hasn’t been lifted and the monsters still hurt people.
The people who had been hunting the witch for such a long time belatedly realized.
“The witch is immortal!”
The wise king decided to confine the witch. He constructed a tower and meant to lock her up in there. Forever, until she dies. When the witch found out about it, she shrieked with evil laughter.
“Yes, lock me up forever! However, the curse will not be broken!”
The witch was eventually trapped in the tower, and the whole thing was surrounded by thorn vines to keep anyone from entering. The witch couldn’t escape either, but the monsters continued to appear and people kept dying as long as she lived on.

However, as the number of monsters gradually decreased, people took courage and fought against them. The country began to regain peace little by little. As time flew by, people forgot about the tower where the witch was trapped, but they still told stories about her.
“When the witch dies, the curse will be broken and no more monsters will appear.”
“If you don’t behave, I might send you to the witch. The witch is really scary and strong.”
The witch was trapped in a place that no one knew of, and she couldn’t escape until the curse was lifted, that is, until she died. Forever.
Then one day, a young warrior went to look for the witch.
“Witch! I will kill you and break the curse!”
The witch smiled at the warrior as if she were welcoming an old friend.
“Young warrior, so you have white hair. If it’s light then it can remove darkness.”
Light will set the darkness aside, and gift her with an eternal rest.
“My eternal rest has finally come to claim me.”
Said the witch to the warrior.
“Kill me.”
It’s enough now, kill me.

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
