Fairy tales are real. Everything else is the lie. Once history, now myth, the legend of the boy king has passed from fact into storybook fable. Cynics confirmed a descent into madness. Believers hailed an ascent to enlightenment. Everyone else was too busy texting to notice. Whichever the case, fact or fantasy, the tale most often told is the furthest from truth. All that can be agreed upon is this... David was born to kill. Under a sky gone black as sackcloth, poets wailed soliloquies while the Emerald City burned. Pursued by evil forces, a misunderstood serial killer stalks Seattle's rain-swept streets taking vengeance against "Monsters" who prey upon innocent children. Joined by a psychotic femme fatale from his troubled past, the two star-crossed lovers must evade capture and complete their Divine mission while coming of age in a rapidly evolving world. Crazy is a funny word. It explains so much so easily...
A legend of a boy king, once history and now myth, is about to be reclaimed from fable as the truth of his violent destiny unfolds. David was born to kill, a fact obscured by tales of madness or enlightenment. As the Emerald City burns under a black sky, he is pursued by evil forces, a misunderstood serial killer stalking Seattle's rain-swept streets. He seeks vengeance against those who prey on children, aided by a psychotic femme fatale from his past. Together, these star-crossed lovers must evade capture and complete their divine mission, all while coming of age in a rapidly evolving world.
The premise suggests a dark, urban fantasy narrative that blends supernatural elements with a gritty thriller atmosphere. The description points to a story that delves into the nature of myth versus reality, and the blurred lines between good and evil, particularly through the lens of a protagonist with a violent, divinely appointed mission. The inclusion of themes like 'coming of age' and 'star-crossed lovers' within this dark framework indicates a complex character study set against a backdrop of societal decay and supernatural conflict. The narrative appears poised to challenge conventional notions of sanity and morality, presenting a world where fairy tales hold a terrifying truth.
