The Howl of Blood and Fire
War is coming, and this time it is more than personal.
For generations, the Stormborn lineage has carried one story like a scar, the former Draconis destroyed their empire and left their bloodline in ruins. The Red Alpha grew up on that story.
He was raised on it.
Fed with it.
Every lesson, every battle, every scar carved one belief into him, when the Draconis rises again, it must be put to death.
But fate has a cruel sense of humor.
Because the new Draconis is Lyra.
She doesn’t fully understand what she is yet. She only knows she’s being hunted. Villages are being wiped out. Borders are closing. The wolf clan are preparing for open war. The vampire council is divided, each elder with their own hidden agenda. And somewhere deep within the forbidden forests lies a power that could either protect her or expose her.
The Red Alpha knows more than he admits. He knows what the last Draconis did. He knows secrets about Lyra’s blood that even she doesn’t know. And he is not just preparing for battle.
He is preparing revenge.
As the Blood Eclipse approaches, alliances will begin to crack, previous betrayals will surface again, and the truth about the former Draconis will threaten everything.
Because this isn’t just history repeating itself.
This is unfinished hatred.
And when Lyra finally steps into the fire, the world will learn whether she is their salvation...
Or the final mistake.

Chapter: Chapter Five: The AmbushLyra POVI woke up feeling at peace.That felt strange.I’m not supposed to feel peaceful here.But my body felt light, like I had slept really well. I lay there for a moment staring at the stone ceiling above me, trying to understand why my chest didn’t feel so tight today.Maybe it was because of the kind woman.The one who let me sleep on her lap.Just thinking about her made my chest feel warm again.Then my stomach twisted.Not from hunger.From something else.Oh no.I sat up quickly.“I need to pee,” I whispered to myself.I hadn’t gone since yesterday when that scary man was still here watching me.The thought of him made my shoulders tense immediately.I quickly ran to the door and started banging on it with both hands.“Hello?!” I called out. “Please! I need the restroom!”At first there was nothing.Then I heard footsteps.Heavy ones.The door clicked and slowly opened.I froze.But it wasn’t the scary man.It was a woman.A knight.She was huge. Almost as tall as the men I

Chapter: Chapter Four: A Moment of ComfortLyra POV The door opened suddenly.It was a lady, dressed in a uniform looking like a servant.I guess she was.She carried a tray of food and the smell hit my nose so fast my stomach growled before I could stop it.The big man walked over and took the tray from her hands.“You may leave,” he told her.His voice was calm, like nothing strange was happening here.“You'd be called on when she finishes.”The servant didn’t even look at me. She just nodded quickly and left.The door shut.And then it was quiet again.Just me and a scary man.He walked over to me and untied the ropes around my wrists.The moment they came off, my hands stung so badly.But I didn’t complain.Because of the momentary happiness at the sight of food.My stomach twisted painfully.I didn’t even look at him.I rushed to the table and grabbed the bread first.The meal was made of bread with scrambled eggs.I ate fast.Too fast probably.Egg crumbs stuck to my fingers but I didn’t care. I licked everything off my

Chapter: Chapter Three: In the Den of ThievesLyra’s POVWhen I woke up, I didn’t know if it was still night.The room was dark but not fully dark. A thin line of light was coming from the bottom of the door. My body felt heavy, like I had been sleeping for years instead of just a few hours.For a moment, I forgot where I was.Then I remembered the loud sound.The screaming.Tyron’s promise.“I promise I'll come back for you.”My heart ached.I sat up too fast and my head hurt.I listened.Nothing.The camp had always had noise.Now it was quiet in a way that didn’t feel right.It felt empty.I waited for someone to unlock the door.No one came.I looked at the small key Tyron had thrown to me before leaving. I had fallen asleep holding it. It was still in my hand, pressed so tight it left a mark in my palm.Maybe everyone was hiding like me.Maybe if I stayed here, someone would come back.But my stomach hurt. My mouth felt dry. And I didn’t like being alone in the dark.I crawled to the door and unlocked it slowly.The click s

Chapter: Chapter Two: The Real Start Of LifeLyra’s POVI couldn't answer.I didn't know anymore.All I knew was that three days ago, I had parentsAnd now I didn't.The man didn’t look angry.That was the first thing I noticed.His hand was big around my wrist, but he wasn’t squeezing it. When I turned fully, I saw his face properly.He had tired eyes. Not mean eyes. Just eyes that looked like they had seen too many long days. His beard was rough and uneven, like he didn’t care much about mirrors.“You’re shaking,” he said a bit quietly.I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. My throat still hurt from crying.He let go of my wrist slowly, like he was scared I would run if he moved too fast. The gunshots had stopped. The men’s voices were further away now.“It’s alright,” he said. “You’re safe.”I didn’t believe that word anymore.But I followed him anyway.Maybe because I was too tired not to.The camp was deeper inside the woods than I expected.Tents were set up in a circle. There was smoke rising from a fire. I could smell somet

Chapter: Chapter One: It all came down crumblingLyra’s POVDaddy said he wouldn’t be long.He always said that. He would bend a little so his face was closer to mine and tap the tip of my nose with his finger. “Stay put, little princess. Guard the house for me.” And I would salute him because it made him laugh. Mommy would shake her head like we were both silly, then kiss my hair and tell me not to finish all the biscuits before dinner.That day felt like any other day.The trees around our house were very tall and very quiet. They always felt like they were listening. Our house sat in the middle of them like it was hiding. Daddy liked it that way. He said it kept us safe. I didn’t know from what. I never asked. I just liked that it was ours.They left in the afternoon. I watched their car disappear down the narrow road that curled into the woods like a brown ribbon. I waited until I couldn’t hear the engine anymore.Then the house became too quiet.The first day, I wasn’t scared.I ate the leftover cake in the fridge and sat on th
