The Ink Puppeteers (IP) is the Storybook thought of and plotted by the members of the Ink Puppeteers Club (club for all those into Storybooking). Behind it lie days of discussing and collaborating, yet it's, just as any other, developing as characters suddenly decide to take their own paths, leading us writers along.

The Storybook is based on the idea most likely known to each and every writer out there - what if, by falling asleep at exactly right moment, the universes collide, and you wake in the world of your own imagination, where you can meet your characters and see the scenery before your eyes? Dream come true, and with all the imagination the writers tend to be cursed (or gifted) with, escaping the troubles of reality and leaving to enjoy your own masterpiece sounds like a chance no one wouldn't like to get.

However, what happens when you find yourself next to the character who's beloved you've killed, who's town you've once burned to ashes by a move of your quill, who's death you had planned in tiniest of details? And though the connection is there, and you can't die without your characters getting killed, you seem to be unable to control anything.
Magic is darkening minds and poisoning hearts, love and contracts with demons are as often as betrayals and serial killings, and a few confused writers struggle with the versatile world put together by their thoughts, which grows and evolves without control. As real as their characters, who happen to have plans of their own, far from their time and place, seen as cruel gods, the writers will have to find the way to deal with their own minds and correct what has been done wrong.
But with no loses and desperation, not a story would seem realistic enough. Characters, who just learned of what they really are, however in love or in need they were, will need to face all the choices the writers used to be picking for them.

There are things that need to be done. Stories that need to be told. And with writers trapped in the world of their creations, nothing is sure to happen the way it was imagined to. And threats are not even those described in their writings, as if the evil and the antagonists are bad enough - for there are darker, powerful shadows of past lurking and waiting for the perfect moment to return. And the moment has never been closer.

"Blood is Everything" is about the internal struggled of individuals within Royal houses. Intrigue, assassinations, seduction, greed- everything dark and hidden behind the perfect masks the royals show the world.

Drallion- the world- is on the brink of mass warfare. The powers of the land are desperately preparing for war, trying to gain peace, or rather trying to gain powerful allies...Even it it means selling their own sons and daughters to other powerful houses- princes and princesses are powerful playing chips in a land where your bloodline is everything.

Come (if you dare,) to a time in Drallion when fates are decided, lives torn apart and lives are both begun and ended in the blink of an eye- what will your destiny be?
