Born to a family of simple means, Etalia's path had been fraught with obstacles. As a child, she learns the art of thievery and stealth from her rogue father, who plies his trade in the bustling streets of Valenour. Her nimble fingers and cunning mind are quick to grow, making her the bane of merchants and gentry alike.

However, a full life of deceit and skullduggery is not Etalia's fate. Her curiosity, guided by an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and adventure, leads her to the lush, verdant expanse of the Old Verde Forest.

Here, the trees whisper secrets of this ancient realm, and Etalia's heart is set ablaze. She abandons her life as a rogue and trains under the watchful gaze of the elusive forest spirits, mastering the skills of a ranger.

She learns to bend the shadows to her will, moving unseen and unheard. The veins and arteries of the wooded landscape run through her like the blood coursing through her veins when she lets loose an arrow, true and swift, its purpose unyielding. Each rustle of leaves and the chirp of every bird dance upon her senses, embracing her as one of their own.

Yet, even as a formidable ranger, Etalia's spirit remains restless. The day she set eyes on Prince Valenour, the ruler of her beloved realm, a fire ignites within her soul. Their brief encounter fills her days and nights with wonder.

In the prince's service, she dons her signature wicker wide-brim hat adorned with ever-fresh violet Corniva flowers. These beautiful blossoms symbolize her steadfast devotion to her duty as a senior ranger. She fights at nature's behest, defending the untamed heart of Valenour from the prying reaches of mankind. Etalia keeps the forests of the Old Verde safe, the memories of her encounters with the prince fueling her every step.

As the days bleed into years, Etalia's reputation grows, and whispers of her prowess echo across the land. However, her heart longs for reconnection to that fateful moment with the prince, a memory that lives and breathes as vividly as the forest surrounding her.

Fate, a capricious mistress, intertwines their paths once more as Etalia uncovers a hidden darkness festering in the heart of the kingdom. Her duty calls her to the epicenter of old and new battles, where the fate of Valenour and the prince's life rest on the razor's edge of her decisions.

Etalia Monlane, the rogue-turned-ranger, will face trials unlike anything she has ever experienced, her cunning and unparalleled skills pushed to their limits. The shadows wrap around her, the spirits of the Old Verde Forest as her allies, and her burning desire for triumph courses through her veins.

For within her soul, Etalia knows that her destiny is inexorably entwined with Prince Valenour's fate. United, they will confront the darkness that threatens to consume their realm, and in the fires of battle, the true strength of Etalia Monlane will be forged. And in the end, the stories of her exploits will echo through Valenour's history, a legacy her heart will scribe alongside the legends of old.
