The Blackheart's Descent: Moon

Abstract

This graduate thesis includes the first roughly 100 pages of the second section of my fantasy-fiction novel, The Blackheart's Descent. The novel is about a young woman named Terryn Leclair, a princess of the Kingdom of Light, Halcyon, and her journey to become a Queen. This section in particular focuses on Terryn's journey of healing and learning to live in Halcyon, the Kingdom of Darkness. This novel looks to explore themes such as black and white morality, forgetting the past vs. honoring it, acculturation and excommunication, and rebuilding one's life after tragedy.
