The Queen and the Castle

The D'rolock Empire, a vast and rapidly expanding empire, has invaded the kingdom of Argonna, occupying the castle of its capital and imprisoning the Queen of Argonna, Fiora Durassil, within its highly guarded keep. Victor Mansfield, the king of the nearby kingdom of Dalmar, executes a risky plan to sneak into the occupied castle and rescue Queen Fiora. All goes according to plan at first, but the seemingly unwitting empire has a plan of its own.

It is up to Victor to improvise a change of plan and overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles just to stay alive, let alone accomplishing his goal. He soon finds himself in need of rescuing as all hope of escaping the confines of the castle evaporates into thin air in this short but exciting tale by author Timothy Wilson.
