Step into a world where the wind speaks in riddles, rivers remember your name, and shadows carry stories older than time. In Whispers of the World, ancient legends and timeless myths from every corner of the globe gather beneath the boughs of a single, enchanted tree. From the golden threads of Anansi's cunning to the thunderbird's storm-swept wings, from the shapeshifting secrets of selkies to the sly grin of tricksters at every crossroads-this anthology is a passport to the wonder tucked inside every whisper of folklore. Drawn from West African jungles, Celtic shores, Eastern mountains, desert winds, and forest depths, these tales pulse with magic, wisdom, and the heartbeat of countless generations. Whether told around fires, carved into wood, or passed between stars, each story invites you to listen closely-and maybe, just maybe, to believe. For lovers of mythology, fairytale dreamers, and curious souls: these are the stories the world has been whispering to you all along. It's time to listen.

This is the one where lords and ladies battle with politics (!loads of treason and deaths ahead). This is the world where your eye colour gives you special powers as well as privileges in society. Where a little girl will fight against all odds, and discover herself abilities she wasn't aware of. This is the one when the Ancient Folk, disgraced then forgotten by humans, shall rise once more and control the lands that were rightfully theirs. And maybe this will be the final stand of human beings; maybe not; maybe they will be replaced by creatures far better, far wiser than them. Only the golden-eyed one, chosen by the gods, queen of all territories that have yet been discovered, can make that decision; and some might try anything to stop her. ***Hey ! Empress_of_crows here ! first of all, thank you for reading my story, it means everything to me TT I would also like to remind that this is a draft and by no means the final product. I will try my best to publish every week at least and apologize if the chapters are late. I want to point out that I was heavily inspired by the Game Of Thrones series (so if you were wondering why characters looked a bit similar as well as some of the plot); but don't worry, this will not be a complete and mediocre copy of the books (at least I hope so...) and it is not fanfiction too. Lastly, I'd add that mistakes (grammar and spelling mistakes but also plot-holes and weak narration) may be present in this story, so I apologize in advance. Being a Wattpad reader at first I really understand how frustrating that can be. I can use plenty of negative and/or positive critics as long as it is respectful of myself and my work. Check out the rest of my stories if you liked this one ! Farawell young padawans ^^***
