The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen Kael’s Return
He awakes at dusk.Not with a gasp.Not with a cry.But with a whisper.A breath shaped by memory, not pain.“Seren…”The name hovers in the quiet, fragile and resonant. It carries no demand, only recognition. Only need.For weeks, Kael has lingered in a kind of stillness that defies healing. Not alive in the way wolves should be. Not dead in the way warriors deserve. A breathless tether. A body that would not break. A soul that no longer howled.Some say the Plague took him. Corrupted him from the inside, like rot blooming behind the eyes. Others whisper that the blood oath cost too much, that the gods marked him long ago, and now the debt comes due.But only Seren believed he’d return.Only she waited.But not like this.Outside, the sky bruises red and black. The clouds hang low, streaked like open veins, and the stars are too quiet. A wind moves through Emberhold’s upper halls, hot and wrong. As if something beneath the earth has exhaled.Inside the healing chamber, the rune-walls p
The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen Vessa’s First Kill
They spot the Dustborn scouts just as twilight begins to bleed the sky.Long shadows slip through the lower ashgroves, past the outer ridge lines and the collapsed ruins of the old watchtowers. Quick and quiet, like cinders caught in wind. They don’t number many. But they’re bold. Close enough to glimpse Emberhold’s outpost torches. Close enough to send whispers back to Sirelia.Close enough to mean danger.The message arrives as the sky deepens to bruised purple. Seren, still fresh from her communion with the Dustmother, stands in the high chamber of the keep, skin faintly touched with lingering silver from the altar runes. Her hair glows faintly where firelight catches it, and her voice, though quiet, draws silence around it like a spell.“Send a unit,” she says.“But not the Ashguard.”Her gaze moves through the room and lands on Vessa.“You lead.”The words strike like blade against anvil.Vessa stiffens.She’s commanded skirmishes. Held lines. Protected thrones and faces and flan
The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen The Dustmother’s Curse
The moon hangs low and heavy over Emberhold.Not an omen.A remembrance.Its red light stains the towers, pools in the corners of stone windows, drips across banners like dried blood newly wet. It does not rise, it lingers. As if waiting to be seen, or remembered, or feared again.The gods are no longer silent.They are watching.Some whisper.Some wait.But none have turned away.It happens just past midnight.The Ashborn camp lies in gentle quiet, the hush of unity settling like balm after a day of names spoken and banners sewn. Wolves sleep in crescent shapes beside witches who once feared their breath. Vampires perch in high alcoves, unmoving but ever alert, their eyes casting moonfire over the courtyard.There is no fear tonight.Only readiness.Only the hum of something coming.Then,The torches dim.Not extinguished.As if something older than flame exhaled across them, soft and long and final.On the cliffs above, where wind cleaves the stone and the stars feel nearer, Seren s
The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen Seren Names Her Army
Ash still clings to Seren’s cloak as she returns from Hollowreach.Not as dust.Not as soot.But in deliberate lines, stripes drawn by grief, symbols painted by fire and the dead. The remnants of sacrifice mark her arms like sacred ink, dark against her pale skin, like a language only the fallen could speak. She doesn’t brush them away.She wears them.They are part of her now.Her steps into Emberhold make no sound. No fanfare. No horns. No ceremonial call from the towers. But the city feels her arrival.Because they saw the sky burn when she left.And they saw no rage in her return.Only fire.Only resolve.The courtyard fills slowly at first. Wolves arrive first, silent and solemn, their ears twitching toward her as if tuning into a sound only they can hear. Then come the witches, their robes still wet with last night’s starlight. The humans follow, hesitantly, then more steadily. Farmers, smiths, apprentices, scribes. Finally, from shadowed corners, come the hybrids. The half-born
The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen The Execution at Hollowreach
Hollowreach was not a fortress.It had no towering gates of rune-forged steel. No obsidian ramparts crowned with bloodfire. No artillery humming with dark magic, no war-hardened watchposts bristling with blades. Its defenses were older than metal, older than spells, made of tradition and trust, shaped over centuries of choosing not to fight.The streets were worn with the passage of generations. The rope-market sagged in familiar curves. The town bell had rung through every winter, every harvest, every birth and farewell since memory had a name. The people here did not swear loyalty to thrones or creeds.Only to peace.And Hollowreach mattered.Because in a world split by prophecy and shadow, it had refused to choose a side.It stood neutral when kingdoms rose and gods fell.It opened its gates to refugees when other cities closed theirs.It took in messengers who carried no seals.Healers who wore no banners.Wolves who’d laid down their teeth.And, in whispers, it gave shelter to th
The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen The Sky Bleeds Fire
They feel it before they see it.A stillness that grips the spine. The air stills, not in calm, but in suffocation. The wind ceases between breaths, and the wolves of Emberhold, resting on stone and soil, rise in unison. Their hackles lift. Their eyes turn skyward.Not a growl.A knowing.Every muzzle angles toward the horizon, ears twitching, as if the realm itself has inhaled too deeply.The sky pulses.Not lightning.Not thunder.A heartbeat.Then,A crack.Thin at first, like glass splintering under ice. But it stretches, widening across the heavens from one end to the other. A jagged red fracture, glowing with molten light, bleeding fire down in threads so fine they resemble silk spun by forgotten gods.The clouds don’t scatter.They peel.The stars do not fade.They scream.Their constellations bend, their light flickers violently, like eyes rolling back in pain.In the Dustborn capital, the sky turns red. Winds rise in reverse. And on the highest terrace of her obsidian court,
