Stolvay Glass: A Fantasy Short Story

Description

Prince Florian just wants to be a talented craftsman of glass, like his father and mother before him. His stepmother, Queen Odile, just wants to hand off the crown of Stolvay–a responsibility she never wished to inherit. But Florian can’t seem to craft anything. Anything he touches, he breaks, and with the entire kingdom founded on the art of glassmaking, this makes Florian extremely unfit to be king. What’s a tired foreign Queen to do? Sometimes, a hard call needs to be made. Sometimes, a damaging mistake cannot be forgiven.
