A MacBeth Fanfic

Talyndra Velcrest, a half-elf/half-dragonborn healer, was orphaned as a child and raised by a mage who found her wrapped in a blanket bearing a ruby crest. Known for her skill and compassion, Talyndra ran a small clinic in the gothic town of Ashenhold until a plague swept through Elderon. Summoned to the castle by the king, her expertise saved countless lives, earning her the role of Royal Nurse. Now living in the treacherous halls of the castle, she becomes entangled in the rivalry between the king’s sons. Michael, the charming and temperamental heir, sees her as a challenge to win over, while Xavier, the scarred and brooding younger prince, initially mistrusts her but slowly reveals his vulnerabilities. Caught between their opposing natures, Talyndra uncovers secrets about the plague’s origin and her mysterious ruby crest, which may tie her to the throne. As the brothers vie for her favor, Talyndra must navigate courtly intrigue, dark magic, and forbidden romance, all while seeking the truth about her own past.
