When ancient Eldoria was whole, kings and queens were not chosen by inheritance, nor declared by council or blade alone.

They were forged.

In fire, in memory, in sacrifice.

The Trial of Three Moons, spoken of only in hushed tones within the oldest scrolls, remembered by the dwindling few known as Flamekeepers, was once the crucible through which Eldoria’s greatest sovereigns emerged. It was not a rite of passage, but of purpose. It did not demand blood from enemies, but truth from the soul.

Few survived it.

None had attempted it in over five hundred years.

Until now.

Beyond the cliffs of Avaryn, where wind howled like forgotten names and no sunlight dared settle, the Temple of Moons waited. Carved into the marrow of the mountain itself, it pulsed with a silence that was older than gods and twice as watchful.

Elara stood at its gate, the air sharp against her cheeks, her heavy black cloak thrashing like a living thing in the wind. Her breath misted with tension, her hand resting lightl

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The War Marches

    The morning after Elara’s decree, Eldoria awoke changed.A quiet shift, like the silence that follows a storm, but deeper.More final.The Queen had chosen.Not a lover. Not a consort. Not a name to share her crown.She had chosen herself.And the land felt it.In the sigh of the trees. In the tremor of the soil. In the ancient rivers that once ran red and now pulsed like veins under waking skin.A message rippled from root to sky.Prepare.Because peace, fragile, sacred peace, was already cracking like frost beneath a rising sun.And from that fracture, the War of Crowns was born.The first warning rode the wind from the Eastern Ridge.Kael burst into the war room like a storm in human form, mud caked up to his knees, a blood-marked scroll crushed in one fist.“They’ve moved,” he said, his voice flat but burning.Elara, seated at the head of the long obsidian table, didn’t blink. Her fingertips tapped lightly against the stone, in rhythm with her thoughts. Behind her, the great stain

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Queen’s Decision

    The storm had passed.But within the ancient walls of Moonstone Keep, something colder remained. The air no longer hissed with thunder or hissed with rain, but it was no less heavy. It pressed down, thick and mournful, as though the very stones of the keep had absorbed grief and now exhaled it in sighs too soft to name.In the council chamber, where war had been planned and peace negotiated, Elara stood alone.Queen of Eldoria.Daughter of dusk and fire.Forged not in love, but in survival. And at last, truly, completely, alone.She stood over the great round table. A map lay stretched before her, faded and frayed at the edges. Its ink was smeared where sleepless hands had pressed too hard. Where wine or blood, had spilled. Pins dotted the parchment: alliances newly struck, routes carved in risk, battles fought and those yet to come.The Black Rose Treaty.The Pact of Eldoria.And beside them, two objects, small but heavy with meaning.Kael’s sword laid down not in surrender, but in s

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   A Night of Storm

    The storm crawled over Eldoria like a beast in pain, its howls trapped in the throat of the sky, its claws scraping fire across the clouds. Lightning bared its teeth on the horizon, and thunder answered in slow, guttural echoes, chasing itself through the mountains.Inside Moonstone Keep, the great hall lay still. Shadows stretched long from the hearth’s dwindling flame, dancing across stone walls that had seen feasts and funerals alike. The echoes of laughter and toasts from the treaty celebration still lingered, unwelcome ghosts in the quiet.The Black Rose Treaty had been signed.Peace had been bought.But peace, Elara now understood, was not silence. It was not rest. It was simply a battlefield where blades were sheathed and hearts were left exposed.Lucien found Kael where he expected, beneath the high vaults of the armory, amid rows of weapons and forgotten war banners. The Lycan warrior stood at the workbench, his thick hands wrapped around a whetstone, dragging it across the e

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Black Rose Treaty

    The fires of the Temple of Moons had not yet faded to ember when the next summons came, borne not by courier or bird, but by something older, something colder. A scroll of blood-red vellum, inked in shadows, sealed with the sigil of the First Houses: the original vampire clans, as ancient as the bones of the realm, and once the unwavering pillars of Eldoria’s fragile order. But loyalty had long since turned to poison, and their betrayal had scattered the realm like a chalice dashed on stone.The message contained no pleasantries, no explanations. Only six words, etched like a threat:Come to the Hollow Court. Come alone. Or come to die.Elara stood at the arched windows of Moonstone Keep, the letter trembling slightly in her fingers, though from cold or fury, even she could not say. Behind her, the room pulsed with heat, not from the fire in the hearth, but from the words being hurled within it.“You can’t go alone,” Saphira spat, pacing like a caged blade. “They’ll kill you the momen

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Crowned by Fire

    The Temple of Moons lay in ruins.Once a sanctuary of stone, of trial and tradition, it now stood broken, its marble bones scattered like remnants of a fallen age. Where altars had once risen and judgments had once echoed, now only smoke and silence remained. Dust curled in the moonlight, thick as breath, as if the very air mourned what had been.Above, the sky churned with restless power.The three moons, silver, crimson, and black, remained locked in alignment, burning brighter than stars. The Eclipse of Kings had passed… but the world was still watching. Still waiting. Still listening.The final trial had ended.The choice had been made.And yet, the earth held its breath.Because the Temple, in its dying, had one last gift to offer.Or one last judgment to cast.Elara stood at the center of the shattered courtyard, her breath shallow, her body trembling from the aftermath of battle and truth. Blood marked her skin. Ash streaked her face. Her eyes burned with something deeper tha

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Trial Three: The Eclipse Duel

    The Temple of Moons was dying.Its sacred stones, once etched with flame-carved sigils and monarch-forged runes, now cracked underfoot. Walls trembled. Pillars groaned as age and prophecy collided, shedding dust into the air like falling ash. The very soul of the Temple, the seat of trials older than written memory, was unraveling.The final test had come.Not by decree.Not by prophecy.But by the will of the Moons themselves.And it demanded the cruellest contest of all.Blood against blood.Sister against sister.The courtyard darkened beneath a sky gone still. Winds stilled. Birds vanished. Even the mountain trembled.Above, the three moons aligned: silver, crimson, and black, each carrying the weight of ancient truths. Their alignment, the Eclipse of Kings, had not occurred in a thousand years.It would not return for another thousand.At the heart of the crumbling temple, two figures stood beneath the unblinking light.Elara Moonstone, Queen of Flame and Ash, bearer of the Flame
