A Change of Rules: The Missing Shield, Episode 1

How far would you go in the name of duty, love, and friendship? Two young women are about to find out... Quickening to face the results of a disaster that took place nearly 1000 years in the past, the all-powerful Guardians of Dallancea soon learn that their once-infallible power and immortal authority as the Protectors of the Veils may no longer be enough to successfully combat the mad Gods and their magic-hungering creations. It leaves one slightly-jaded Guardian no choice but to travel back into the Human Realm of Ostravah where the once-rich flows of magic now lie stunted and polluted. Without his usual weapon to hand, and with the Guardian Legacy long forgotten, can he circumvent ignorance and threats to pick up the much-needed link to the Twins: the two very people of this age fated to recover and wield the ancient Astrolabe that brings peace? As Agents of Chaos emerge from the shadows and beyond, there may be no choice for him but to secure a dangerous weapon of pure magic to level the scales back in his favour, but this act would mean breaking sacred laws: something that is sure to bring detrimental consequences. Meanwhile, two noble ladies have little concept of the deadly circumstances that will soon pull them from the comfort of their station into a world of ancient turmoil. Solancei, handmaiden and life-shield, of the Ostravahn Heiress Iambre, has known the Princess since childhood: they are close as sisters, and yet... Duties and hard differences have begun to mar their young adult lives; day by day, their affections crumble, leaving their former friendship in dire peril - however, as Solancei unexpectedly finds herself in trouble when an illegal duel takes a fey turn, Iambre is left petrified for her friend's safety. Fearing the worst, the Heiress knows she must act to help her Shield, but stranded on foreign soil, it seems her hands are tied by diplomacy...
