The twelve days we spend in the Opal Citadel preparing for the Sunken Temple are a strange blend of domesticity and anticipation. During the days, we train. Thessia introduces us to a former temple raider named Jax—a grizzled Marshborn with gills along his neck and eyes that can see through illusions. He teaches us about the Tide Court's magic, about shapeshifters and curse-weavers, about how to navigate underwater passages without drowning.

"The temple is half-flooded," he explains, spreading

  • Blood of The Shattered Moon   A New Dawn

    The weeks following the Convergence are strange and wonderful in equal measure. The most immediate change is that the fragments stop warring.For the first time in millennia, the Moon Sanctum and the Ember Dominion aren't at each other's throats. The Tide Court stops its manipulations. The conflicts that have defined Lunareth for generations begin to fade—not disappear entirely, but diminish to manageable levels. Because now, when tensions rise, the fragments communicate.Through us.The first time it happens, I'm teaching a class on dreamweaving control when I feel Irethiel's presence in my mind. Not intrusive, but present. Waiting.*What do you need?* I ask through the divine network.*Guidance,* she responds. *The Sanctum's high council is debating an aggressive expansion into Kaldrim territory. But Thrym has concerns about how this would affect storm patterns across the region. We need to coordinate.**Give me a moment.*I reach through the network to Thrym, facilitating a direct

  • Blood of The Shattered Moon   The Convergence

    They come at dawn, when the twin moons are setting and the sun is just beginning to rise.The gods. The fragments of the Mother.I feel them before I see them—a pressure in the air that makes it hard to breathe, a weight on reality itself. Through the bond, I feel Kael wake beside me, his consciousness snapping to alertness.*They're here,* I send.*I know. I can feel them.*We dress quickly and make our way to the courtyard. The entire sanctuary is waking, people emerging from buildings with fear and wonder on their faces. Because the sky has changed. Where there was once just azure and clouds, there are now figures. Massive, radiant, terrible figures that dwarf the buildings below.Irethiel appears as a woman made of silver flame, her face veiled, her eyes burning with prophetic fire. She floats above the northern section of the city.Vorrak manifests as a figure of crimson light and shadow, his form constantly shifting between man and beast and something in between. He hovers over

  • Blood of The Shattered Moon   The Second Trial

    The second trial comes in the form of a child. Her name is Mira, and she's eight years old with silver eyes that glow too bright and dreams that manifest whether she wants them to or not. She's one of the refugees who arrived with Pyra, and she's been having nightmares. Terrible nightmares that become real.Shadow-creatures that attack anyone nearby. Storms that rage inside buildings. Once, she dreamed the floor was lava, and three people were burned before I could dispel the manifestation. She's terrified of sleeping. Terrified of herself. And she's getting worse.I've been working with her every day, teaching her the techniques Arkenox taught me about acceptance and control. But she's so young, and her power is so raw. Progress is slow.Then, one morning, she doesn't wake up. We find her in her room, lying in bed with her eyes open but unseeing. She's dreaming, but she's trapped in the dream. And the dream is leaking into reality so violently that the entire building is beginning to

  • Blood of The Shattered Moon   Forging a new Path

    The weeks that follow are a whirlwind of activity. Word spreads through the underground networks that there's a new power in Varelle. Two bonded individuals who survived the Core Sea and emerged transformed. Who defeated the Bloodwraith curse. Who offer sanctuary to the cursed and the hunted.People start arriving at the Opal Citadel. First, a trickle. A Runeborn woman whose lightning magic got out of control and killed her family. She's been on the run from the Kaldrim authorities for two years. A Marshborn man cursed by the Tide Court for refusing to join their military. A young Lyrani boy whose prophetic visions are so powerful they've driven him halfway to madness. We take them all in. Teach them control. Give them purpose. And the trickle becomes a stream.Thessia provides logistics—finding housing, arranging work, managing resources. Kael handles security and training, teaching people to use their powers defensively. And I work with those whose magic is out of control, showing t

  • Blood of The Shattered Moon   The Prophecy Inveiled

    In the aftermath of the Moon Sanctum's failed attack, we discover something that changes everything. One of the unconscious dreamweavers—a woman named Cassia who I vaguely remember from Eclipsehaven—wakes while in our custody. She's terrified, expecting torture or worse. Instead, we offer her tea and questions."Why did the Sanctum send so many for just me?" I ask, sitting across from her in a secure room. "I'm one dreamweaver. Powerful, yes, but hardly worth an army."Cassia stares into her tea for a long moment before speaking. "Because you're not just any dreamweaver. You're the Convergence."The word sends a chill down my spine. "The what?""The Convergence. The prophecy that the High Oracle has been tracking for decades." She looks up, her silver eyes filled with something that might be fear or awe. "Don't you know? Haven't you read the fragments?"I exchange glances with Kael, who's standing guard by the door. Through the bond, I feel his confusion matching mine."Tell me," I sa
