Confluence Saga: Seeds of Awakening

Sebastian was a normal guy until 3 months ago when he Awakened, finding out that there was a whole other world hidden in plain sight.

Princess Lysanya never fit in at court, even the tiniest deviation reason for judgment and criticism, even hatred. Her hair wasn't blonde, her eyes weren't blue, and worst of all in their eyes, she was the heir. Six months ago she convinced her mother to let her live on her own in the Shallows among the Unawakened.

A chance encounter brought them together. The subsequent attack by a contemptuous elite guard forces them into a situation neither was ready for. Now injured and unable to maintain the expected courtly appearance, Lysanya is forced to return home to report the assault and explain the death of the higher level guard.

Following the verdict, they set to discover just how wide the Awakened world actually is beyond the confines of a feudal court. Along the way they'll discover just how little the feudal court actually knows about anything.

Levels, raw power and motivation might be enough to reach the top, but self-acceptance and found family will make it all worthwhile.
