Dawn broke over Hollowgate not with triumphant trumpets, but with a silence so heavy it felt alive, thick as velvet, lingering in every shattered doorway, every scarred fountain, every broken statue. The city that had once shimmered like gold in the morning light now lay draped in ash and dust, its grandeur reduced to piles of ruin that whispered of laughter long vanished.

Elara Flameborne stood atop the crumbling eastern wall, the wind tugging at her cloak’s singed hem. Below her, the spires lay fractured, their once-proud stones jagged against a bruised sky. Temple roofs had caved in, leaving altars exposed to rain and ruin. Gardens that once bloomed with every shade of flower now smoked in tangled vines of charred ivy. Statues, heroes and gods alike were decapitated, their heads rolled among debris stained with dust and blood. Shards of crimson glass, ripped from cathedral windows, glinted like dying embers in the streets where children’s voices once echoed.

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Kael’s Last Stand

    Dawn did not rise over Arkael.The sky fractured instead, veins of red lightning rippling through black cloud, as if the heavens themselves had cracked open to witness what might be the world’s final breath.The Ashborn stood at the cliff’s edge, flame-veils sodden with mist and memory. There were no banners flapping in windless air. No horns. No drums. Just silence, the kind that comes before judgment.Across the broken vale, the Dustborn army emerged in tide-swells of shadow, obsidian-bone shields glinting with curse sigils, beasts wrought from the marrow of extinct gods, warlocks whose flesh was sewn with thread made of oath and agony. They didn’t march. They loomed.And at their core, the banner of Sirelia rose.A crown of thorns, spiked in spirals, pulsed with an otherworldly glow, bloodlight that had never known sun. It throbbed like a wound that wouldn’t close.But she was not among them.Not yet.She had gone to face Seren.And Kael,Kael remained behind.Not because he was le

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Temple of Dying Stars

    The gates of Arkael did not open.They remembered.They had not moved in a thousand years, not since the night the God Below stirred for the first time and Elara, queen of mercy and fire, turned back from the brink of apotheosis and sealed the realm from what came next.But for Seren,They bent.The blackstone teeth of the Hollowfire Gate shifted, not with ceremony, but recognition. They curved inward like ancient roots recoiling from new flame. No guards stood. No runes flared. No illusions tried to dissuade her.Just a corridor of silence, carved from the marrow of time itself, leading into the heart of something that had once been worshipped,And now merely waited.Behind her, the camp stood still.Kael did not follow.Nor the Ashborn.Not even the stars dared cross that threshold.She had told them plainly, on the eve of dusk, with ash still clinging to her shoulders:“This path is mine alone.”And the land, for once, had listened.Inside, the air did not breathe. It held.Colder

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Betrayal of Lucien

    The first time Seren saw Lucien again, it was not in moonlight.It was in ashfall.The sky above the Ashborn’s last encampment was bruised the color of secrets—muted pewter, the hue of old regrets, as if the heavens themselves refused to forgive what was coming. Cinders drifted with no real direction, falling in slow, ceaseless spirals, soft as dust shaken from the hands of a world too weary to lift itself again. Nothing was warm, nothing glowed. Even the embers in the fire rings seemed cowed into silence.The sentries saw nothing on the ridges. No flames from the warding pyres. No howl from the wolves that scouted the perimeter, their silver eyes peeled for trouble. Just silence. A hush thick as honey, heavy as sleep.Lucien simply appeared—pulled from the ragged edge of shadow and memory, as if the ash itself had finally remembered him.He stepped past the last watchfire, his boots stirring a drift of gray flakes. Black from hood to heel, shrouded in regret, and carrying a blade tha

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Saphira’s Death

    It began with a whisper.Not a scream.Not an alarm.Just the hush of wind that had no place in that place.A flicker of warmth swept through the western ridge, threading between ancient stones where no current should stir. It passed over cold soil, across the ash-crusted bark of twisted trees, through carved wards meant to keep time itself sealed.It reached the vault last.The spiral vault. The sacred one.Where the Eye of Elara had been entombed for over a hundred years.Saphira felt it before any of the wards flinched.She was inside, at the center of the vault, her lone remaining eye glowing dimly in the low light. Her palms rested against the crystal cocoon that held the Eye, a relic whispered to be carved from the starlit bones of a wyrm slain by Elara in her final campaign, and sealed with the last tear the queen had shed.The Eye pulsed now.Slowly.Steadily.A heartbeat she hadn’t felt in a century.And it was calling.Not aloud. Not through vision.Through knowing.Saphira breat

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The March of Flame

    They marched at dawn.Not because strategy demanded it. Not because any general barked orders or measured the odds. Not because a prophecy ticked down the hours.They marched because the light had changed.The sun bled softly across the ashen plains, touching ruined stone and scorched fields with a gentleness no one had felt in decades. It wasn’t brighter—just… gentler. As if the morning itself was offering the world a second chance.At the front, Seren walked alone.The Starbrand rested along her back, no longer pulsing in warning, but settled, as if it too was learning a new language. The spiral at her throat shimmered, not with threat, but with calm, as though breath itself had become visible, a quiet halo at her every step.Behind her came the Ashborn.There was no armor, no gleaming regalia. Their veils—dyed from ember, soot, and shadow—moved in time with the breeze, whispering the names of every city lost, every vow remade. They carried no banners, only staffs and blades reclaim

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Vessa’s Bloodline

    They came at dusk.Three witches robed in flame-silk, their garments tattered by time, their movements soundless. Their faces were half-burned, half-veiled, and their mouths sealed shut with threads of ember-iron, an oath no fire could melt.No one saw them arrive.No footsteps echoed. No scent betrayed their presence. They simply appeared, at the edge of the fire wards that protected the Ashborn camp, standing like memories carved from smoke and sorrow.Their presence was wrong in the way old magic was wrong, like a wound in time that refused to close.Seren met them first.She did not call for guards. Did not raise the Starbrand. Did not speak.She simply stepped toward them, spine unbent, eyes quiet.And waited.The tallest witch bowed, not stiffly, not in deference, but in ritual. An old gesture from before the Accord burned.From within her scorched sleeve, she drew a scroll. It was sealed in wax shaped like a wolf’s fang, bound in a crown of thorns blackened by spellfire.She of
