The Kingdom beyond the Mill
A world much like the Netherlands, but shaped by magic, mystery, and myth
Cover by Bruna Belfort
Hollandos Eyes of the Prince
Imagine the Netherlands with knights, prophecies, colourful animals, and magic
Bente is an ordinary girl from the Dutch town of Molenpoort. Between pressure from her girlfriend and guilt from her family, she keeps trying to do the right thing. This leads her to the abandoned mill in the centre of town, where one step takes her away from everything she knows.
She ends up in Hollandos, a world that mirrors her own in culture and geography but is wildly different in every other way. Yet beneath the wonder, danger stirs. The exiled Prince Viktor is preparing to claim the Starcrown and cast Hollandos into darkness. To return home, Bente must defeat him, but the more she learns about the prince, the more she wonders if defeating him is truly the right choice.
Will she rise as the hero she always hoped to be, or remain trapped in Hollandos forever?
