I was Penellaphe of Castle Teerman, Kin of the Balfours, and the Queen’s favorite. I was the Maiden. Chosen.
I tried to prenounce Penellaphe at several times but my tongue literally tied. Interesting and compelling choice for heroine name. Chosen part intrigued me. Let's move on to see what makes our heroine so special!

“Truth is an honest saint,
ignorance is a helpless scholar,
vice is an uncaring sinner,
and love is a kind sage.
Knowledge is the path,
understanding is the way,
wisdom is the highway,
