The quill trembled in Lucien’s hand, its tip darkened with dusk-hued ink, as he bent toward the frost-fogged window of the last true keep in Eldoria, old enough to remember fire, young enough to ache for it. A fine dust drifted in the air, mingling with the scent of parchment and smoke, a perfume of yesterday. Outside, the woods wore a cloak of winter, branches brittle as sorrow, the sky overhead fractured into indigo and ivory by the thin, sharp bones of starlight.

He had not written in years. Had not, perhaps, believed he ever would again.

Yet here he was, hunched in the quiet, where even ghosts seemed to wait with bated breath, his hands arthritic from centuries of holding on too tightly. There were wounds that healed around the blade. There were hearts that learned to beat quietly so the world would not hear them break.

Tonight, he surrendered to neither.

With a sigh older than the stones beneath his feet, Lucien placed trembling quill to paper.

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Faith Within

    Faith, when unbound by thrones, becomes something greater than allegiance.It becomes belonging.It becomes a hearth, not a sceptre. A song, not a decree. A memory that moves with the wind, not iron driven into stone.And in the shadow of one woman’s return, whether by fire or memory, the world remembered it had the power to bow.Not to a crown.But to a cause.The sun rose slow and solemnly over the Plains of Gildaran, scattering the last of the morning’s mist. Here, there were no walls, no banners, no echo of conquest, only the wide, wind-bent grass and the low call of meadowlarks, their voices the first and last freedom. This land had outlasted armies, outlived every throne. It was sacred not for the blood shed upon it, but for the hush that followed, for the peace that refused to die.This was the place Elara had stood alone, unarmed, when she broke the last war, where she spoke a truth that bent not just knees, but histories.And now, as memory bent back to meet the present, they

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Elara’s Return

    She said she would not rule again.And yet, when the world forgot why she left,She returned—not as flame, not as fury,But in a silence that made stars blink awake.It began not with thunder, but with a hush that swept the land clean of expectation.The silence spread from the meadows—where sheep and cattle froze mid-graze, ears cocked, muscles trembling—to the gilded towers of distant cities, where scribes paused over open scrolls and the ink slowly gathered into trembling beads. Market squares grew hushed; the swirl of commerce and gossip faded as if a great hand had drawn a curtain across the day.Across rivers, the flow dulled to a lazy trickle. The wind, so often a wild child in spring, now drifted like the breath of a mourner. In the deepest woods, even the crows, creatures who reveled in omen and unrest, tucked their wings and fell silent among the branches.It was a waiting that felt alive, thick as honey, dense as unwept grief.And beneath it all, an old question twisted thr

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Crown That Waited

    "Elara shattered the regalia not to destroy power, but to bury its need.Yet some things do not stay broken.And some symbols, like fire, wait quietly beneath stone until the world forgets why they were cast away."The winds that carried ash and whispers had not yet reached the granite-hollowed peaks of Mount Rithalor. Hidden within Eldoria’s eastern spine, the mountain had long been left unclaimed, too treacherous for farmers, too silent for poets. There was no curse on its slopes, only a hush that stilled birdsong and stifled memory, a hush so profound that grown men sometimes wandered up its winding paths and forgot the names they carried with them.Silence, as Eldoria was beginning to learn, had a voice. And that voice was stirring.It was the Flame Scholars of the Ash Circle who first disturbed the ancient peace. They followed the fever-dreams of Seren, the silver-eyed child who spoke in riddles as she slept: a spiral, a root, a crown drawn backwards in ash and gold.Follow the r

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Where Blades Meet Heart

    "When the wind remembers, it does not howl. It whispers.And when ash falls without fire, it is not death, it is memory come home.She was not a ghost. She was a voice on the breath between worlds."The forest was bleeding.Twilight dripped through the skeletal branches in fractured ribbons, dyeing the clearing in bruised purples and washed-out gold. The world seemed to hold its breath, suspended between day and night, between what had happened and what might yet come. Elara stood at the heart of it all, spine stiff, shoulders squared, breath sawing ragged in her chest. Her hand clenched the hilt of her dagger until her knuckles ached. The taste of metal lingered at the back of her throat, as if violence itself had climbed inside her.All around her, the ghosts of the ambush lingered. Arrows snapped and scattered across the ground like broken ribs. The forest floor was churned to mud and spattered with blood, both red and darker. Birds had fallen silent, and somewhere deeper in the wo

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Dream walker’s Son

    "The dreamwalker spoke of futures Elara never dared to write.Now, his blood walks the world again, uninvited, but inevitable.For some, destinies do not return through fire.They Walk back in dreams."The dreamwalker had once spoken of futures Elara never dared to write.Now, his blood walked the world again, uninvited, but inevitable.For some destinies do not return through fire.They walk back in dreams.It began not with a warning, but with a vision.Not Seren’s.But Kael’s.Three nights after his return to the court, the dreams began to claw at him, silent at first, then growing louder, clearer, until they stole the breath from his sleeping lungs.He dreamt of silver rivers running backwards across ash-choked plains, of a lone tree shedding petals into a sky with no stars. He stood at the edge of something vast and empty, where time spiralled inward like a whirlpool, and at its center, a boy waited.Barefoot. Flame-kissed. Standing beneath a moonless sky, whispering a name Kael
