Kingdom: Apocalypse is a low-fantasy story about survival, healing from trauma, and the ways community makes those things possible.
It’s almost time for the first grand tournament at Seabreeze Castle, Seneschal! Prepare the feast, ignore the warning signs, and pray everything still goes as planned…
When disaster inevitably strikes, and the tournament’s transported to a land of blackened sun, can you rally the survivors together? Create a new, more egalitarian society in the aftermath, or attempt to re-establish the feudal hierarchy of the old world.
You may need to choose quickly, for people are beginning to hear whispers in the dark…

Romance Options
“Cass” (Cassian/Cassandra) Vilun
Your childhood best friend, if you grew up in a hamlet. Where other children grew up collecting bugs and sticks, Cass collected books. Books about medicine. Almanacs, treatises, textbooks, manuals, anything they could get their hands on. You, Cass and your sibling Kelsi were a team, the monarchs of the forest. You all knew Cass was going places.
The death of your sibling hit them as hard as it hit you. It left them more determined than ever to find a way to use their talent for healing for good.
Despite the horrors they’ve seen in their time as a healer, Cass’ spirit remains light. And they remain determined, more so than ever, to be there for you when you need them the most.
Mira Galloway
It’s really easy to stay on Mira’s good side. You just have to obey her every instruction without question. And as the daughter of the Duke, she can get away with telling you to do whatever she wants.
She’s yet to meet anyone that can match her prowess in combat. Any who might’ve challenged her all ran into ‘unfortunate’ training accidents.
Why would anyone want to tangle with someone this acerbic? Maybe you like being ordered around. Or maybe, just maybe, you’re willing to put up with the bullshit and bluster long enough to see what’s real underneath.
Ayla Liulfr
Your childhood best friend, if you grew up in your family’s castle. Squired to one of your father’s knights, she’s been the terror of the castle, and stuck on you like glue since the day she moved in. No one was safe from her loud, rambunctious behavior, especially those that dared to harm you in any way.
Fiercely protective, an expert fighter, you haven’t seen Ayla in many years. They never found her body. Maybe she’s still out there, somewhere. But if that’s true, why didn’t she find you? What kind of horrors must she have experienced, if they kept her from you?
Erin/Erwin Galloway
Er/w/in is the type of kind, well-spoken and perceptive child that most lords and ladies would hope their heir would be. So why are they never seen in court? Perhaps it has something to do with their condition, the one that has them frequently seen with a cane, and often unseen for long stretches of time.
Would that, then, also explain why no one has seen Duke Galloway and his eldest child in the same room in years? What kinds of secrets must they be holding onto about the function, or dysfunction, in their family? And what are they always writing in that little notebook of theirs?
???
There may be another option. If you have the spirit, if you have a song in your heart, perhaps you’ll have the opportunity to engage the interest of a talented young woman who knows how to make everyone feel like they’re the most important person in the room.
Is her interest lasting, or fleeting? Whichever you want to be true, that’s what she’ll have you believe, right until the moment she decides to move on.
If you can earn her attention, and then her trust, she may end up being the greatest companion, and ally, you’ve ever had.
