Fics like You Might Be King Of Half The World, But You'll Not Own Me As Well

Alina was never an orphan. Discovered by examiners in Dva Stolba aged nine, she is taken from her troubled family and grows up in the Little Palace as the Darkling's protege. Alina is forever caught between the expectations of powerful men; the pressure of being a Sun Summoner, Sankta and the Black General's little pet tears her in every direction. Perhaps no surprise, then, that she grows up troubled and rebellious. With a hatred for being controlled, a fierce temper, a knack for seeing through lies, and the power of a god in the palm of her hand, Alina is hardly the pawn, saint or consort everyone seems to want her to be. She does not care; her life is her own, and she won't let anyone change that. (or in other words, I get sick of Alina not making a single meaningful decision for herself. Imagine a Sun Summoner at full strength, politically savvy, yet determined to be a rebel without a cause) \\\ The girl who many knew as Sankta Alina was sprawled out on her bed, dead drunk. "Alina," His voice was sharp. Her eyes blinked blearily, his presence seeming to sober her slightly, but not enough. "Go away," No one else dared speak to him with such little respect. The Darkling's eyes narrowed.
