Summary
[X-Men Fantasy AU]
The land of the Iron King is a place of violence. It was before him, and surely shall be after.
The latest war has been over for six years. The bloodshed earned the kingdom of Genosha peace – or so it seemed from the outside. Inside, matters are far more complicated. The Iron King is aptly named for his harsh rule. Any dissent is crushed with haste; it is the only way to keep the throne. The more blood he sheds, the more the people grow to hate him, a vicious cycle of uprisings and violence to quell them.
The violence is nothing new to Erika. Now a young woman, Erika hopes desperately that perhaps now that the war has been over long enough, peace will finally prevail. She believes that the king can be good, if given the chance. And the quiet prevailing in the kingdom seems to hint that it might be so.
But her quiet and ordered life swiftly tumbles into chaos. Strangers from foreign lands, a troubadour contest, the first whispers of trouble; forces tangle around her, drawing her ever deeper into the eye of a swiftly coming storm. Will blood be spilled again, or can the violence be stopped before it truly begins?
And is there any hope of redemption for the Iron King?
