His father, Governor Avitus, ruled from the palace where Palimay freely roamed the marble halls and grand gardens. This is where he met his beloved Palea, a servant girl he felt destined to marry. Even when he left his father’s palace to serve King Malimar far away, his love for Palea did not waiver. In service to the King, he dreamt of the day he’d see her again. That day had finally arrived, but not the way he had envisioned. On the run, with his father banished from Emralsey, and he marked for death by the King himself, Palimay finally held her in his arms.
