A Servant Lost (Fantasy)

In the sprawling kingdom of Eldenmoor, servants of the nobility lead lives bound by rules, rituals, and rigid expectations. But one servant, Eryndra, carries a secret-a mysterious power tied to the ancient forests that border the kingdom. Eryndra has lived her life in the shadow of these woods, serving the royal family since childhood, her strange abilities hidden even from herself. But when the queen falls gravely ill from a curse that none can lift, rumors spread of a rare cure found only in the depths of the enchanted forest. Without permission, Eryndra steals away into the night, driven by an inexplicable pull and a faint memory from her earliest days. She ventures into the forest-a place rumored to be alive with sentient trees, magical creatures, and spirits of lost souls. As Eryndra journeys deeper, she learns that her life in Eldenmoor was more than it seemed; she has ties to an ancient lineage of forest guardians lost to history. The magic within her begins to awaken, reshaping the land around her, though she struggles to control it. Guided by cryptic signs and the whispers of forest spirits, Eryndra's quest to save her queen becomes a journey of self-discovery. Along the way, she encounters a band of outcast fae, a stoic ranger bound to protect the woods, and a sentient owl who holds the key to her past. Each encounter brings Eryndra closer to uncovering the truth of her origins and the nature of her magic. However, the forest harbors ancient enemies who fear the return of her lineage. These dark forces seek to manipulate her power for their own ends, leading Eryndra into a battle not only for her freedom but for the very soul of the forest. Torn between her duty as a servant and the call of her newfound power, she must make a choice: remain the obedient servant she has always been, or embrace her true identity as a guardian of the enchanted woods. A Servant Lost is a tale of destiny, courage, and self-discovery, where an ordinary servant girl must rise to protect the land she unknowingly belongs to. Will Eryndra learn to wield her newfound power and defend the forest she is bound to, or will she remain lost in a world that has hidden her true self for far too long? Her path lies hidden in the shadows of the ancient trees, waiting to be found.
