Lim Tales: Fables of Kinship, Sacrifice, and the Bonds That Endure
Across the sweeping kingdoms of Hrel, family loyalty is both a crown and a burden. In this deeply moving Lim Tales collection, the Swiftars, Swanitors, and Pavanox face defining moments of love, betrayal, sacrifice, and reconciliation. These ten fables illuminate how blood ties can uplift or unravel—and how loyalty, when rooted in wisdom and truth, can hold kingdoms together.
From a prince who gives up his sacred feather to save his sister, to a queen who hides a terrible truth to protect her son, these stories go beyond tradition. They speak to what it really means to love your kin.
