The forest east of the Thirstfang Cliffs was unnaturally quiet.

No birds.

No rustling leaves.

No wind.

Just the pulse of distant thunder and the blood-deep knowing in Kael's bones that he was no longer hunting.

He was being summoned.

He dismounted in silence, leaving his horse tethered to a dead tree.

His armor was scorched and dented from the siege at Silverbane, but he hadn’t removed it.

He hadn’t slept in a day and a half.

It didn’t matter.

Because none of it compared to the weight in his chest.

The weight of the name that had found him in a sealed letter:

“If you want the truth, come alone.—General Vaeron Blackclaw”

Vaeron.

Once Kael’s commander.Once his mentor. Once, the only man he had admired enough to follow blindly into war.

And the first to betray everything.

It had been Vaeron who ordered Kael to kill Elara, long before she ever claimed her power.

It had been Vaeron who whispered about “bloodlines too dangerous to thrive.”

And now, it was Vaeron who stood in the clearing be

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Hollow Mercy

    The black moon had passed. The world, for the first time in centuries, felt almost healed. From Eldoria’s high towers, the view was transformed: rivers ran silver, clouds stitched sunlight through mended skies, and in every city square, children’s voices replaced the war drums that once haunted their sleep.They called this era the Age of Peace. In every tongue, on every wind.And at its heart stood Elara, the queen who broke the curse, who refused a throne, who’d been remade by fire, shadow, and sacrifice. Yet, for all her titles, Crownless Queen, Heir of Two Realms, Breaker of Fate, she found herself strangely absent from her own life.Each morning began the same: alone, on the marble balcony of Moonstone Spire, her fingers tracing patterns in dew that never melted against her skin. She stood for hours, watching the world she’d saved go on living, loving, dreaming. Yet nothing, no golden sunrise, no silver banners, no song from the city’s bell tower, could reach the place inside her

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Night of Ascension

    For three days and nights, the world refused to breathe.It wasn’t just the silence in the halls of Moonstone Spire. It was the hush in the forests, the suspension of tides, the strange pause that overtook every wolf’s howl, every wind’s sigh, every prayer on every lip. Across the fractured realm, mothers whispered her name at hearths. Warriors gripped weapons they had sworn never to lift again. Old enemies watched the horizon, waiting for a sign.Elara Moonstone, Queen, curse-breaker, flameborn, had not opened her eyes since the ritual that tore the fate-lines from Eldoria’s flesh.She lay swathed in linen and old magics on a bed of woven moon-boughs, her brow beaded with the dew of fading dreams. Around her, the air trembled with the weight of things unfinished.In the Sanctuary of Echoes, where the last spell had been sung and the ancestral curse broken, her sister held vigil. Sirelia, whose rage had scarred kingdoms, whose grief had nearly shattered the world, was now a woman stri

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Last Rite of Yveron

    "Some wounds are not healed by time. They are passed down, soul to soul, blood to blood. And only through union can they be undone."The night after the crown was shattered, Elara dreamed of blood.But it was not the kind of blood that signaled the end of peace or the beginning of war. Not the thick, red memory of violence, not the reek of wounds split open, not the stain she had washed from her own hands a thousand times and still felt beneath her nails. No, this blood glowed gold. It spiraled through ancient runes and hummed through her bones, singing not of endings, but of beginnings. It sang her awake, shivering, with a single word burning behind her eyes:Yveron.She spoke it aloud before dawn, and the room seemed to pulse. It was not a spell, not exactly, but a memory. The old tongue. One of the forbidden names. The Blood Name of the soul-bindin

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Crownless Dawn

    "Power, when bound in gold, corrupts. But when shattered by choice, it transforms. This is how empires fall. And how legends begin"The sun rose slowly over the broken sanctuary, casting long, fractured shadows across the cracked stones and shattered columns. Its light was golden-edged but splintered, peeking through rifts in the sky that still trembled, repairing themselves from the wounds left by the storm. The air was thick with quiet, the kind that settles only after great upheaval.Elara and Sirelia sat where they had last clashed, not enemies anymore, but not yet allies. The silence between them was neither heavy nor peaceful; it was the fragile space of those who had survived their battle but had yet to find common ground. Between them lay the crown, once a bri

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Clash of Queens

    Their childhood sanctuary was gone.Where once the Hallowed Grove had crowned the mountaintop, ancient stones woven through with moonlit trees and wild blossoms, their laughter echoing through the glade, now only ruin remained. The mists that hung between worlds had grown heavy, silver thickening into dusk, erasing the borders between what was, what could have been, and what should have stayed buried. Even the roots here pulsed with something poisonous, the old oaks drooping as if the ground itself grieved.At the circle’s heart, where their mother had once knelt in blessing, stood two thrones: one sculpted from warped moonstone, fractured by battle and memory; the other, jagged obsidian and polished bone, each piece stolen from shadow. Night-blooms opened at their bases, petals black and glossy, exuding a perfume of longing and loss.Elara arrived in the hour between dusk and dark. Her cloak clung to her skin, the sigil at her breast glowing faintly, defiant against the chill. She pa

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Return

    Eldoria’s skies were mending, the tears in the heavens stitched together by uneasy truce, prayers, and the slow return of sunlight. But the earth was restless beneath the weight of prophecy, trembling not with war drums or armies but from the churning of fate’s undertow. At the rim of the eastern rift, where a cursed river once divided what was known from what the world chose to forget, a figure materialized from the mist.She was shrouded in darkness, every fold of her cloak swallowing the half-light, her crown jagged and cruel, forged from bone and memory. Eyes burned silver through a mask of cracked porcelain, a line slashed clean down the centre. She did not look back. She walked with the gravity of grief repurposed as strength.Sirelia had come home.Not as Elara remembered, the twin who braided her hair by moonlight, the sister whose laughter echoed through childhood halls, whose tears watered the roots of their mother’s grave. Not as the rebel banished in the aftermath of the c
