PROLOGUE

In a world teeming with magical beings, the balance of power defined every creature’s place and purpose. Long ago, this natural order was protected by three unique and ancient beings known as The Order, each imbued with powers that surpassed any known to their kind. Tasked with preserving peace and balance, they were a force no council, no kingdom, dared oppose.

But as time went on, the council’s original members grew restless. They saw The Order’s strength as a threat to their ambition and sought to seize control. Determined to claim power for themselves, they set about dismantling the legacy of The Order. These council members, however, knew that they could only triumph by exploiting a rare planetary alignment, one that left The Order’s members separated and vulnerable.

On the eve of the alignment, when The Order’s power would wane, the council members struck. One by one, The Order’s guardians fell, immortal as they were, made mortal by forced separation. Their deaths marked the end of an era, but not before they left one final safeguard: a prophecy. Using their combined power, they set into motion a chain of events that would ultimately awaken a new generation of protectors, destined to rise against tyranny.

The Prophecy of The Order

One born of royalty,

One born of sin,

Three brought together,

Brothers of another.

In trust and strength, they’ll combine,

To restore the world’s natural line,

Dark and light together will fight,

When planets align, they must unite.

Blood of a queen, blood of a hunter, blood of an alpha,

Together, to restore the balance.

Centuries passed, and the prophecy slipped into myth, nearly forgotten. The council’s influence spread, cementing their rule. They imposed a rigid hierarchy across all supernatural beings, demanding loyalty and submission, placing every species within an order of power:

The Council - Immortals above all, answerable to no one.

The Werewolf King and Queen - Leaders of all werewolves, though strictly controlled.

Witches and Wizards - Held under council supervision.

Vampires - Subject to strict regulations and territorial restrictions.

Every being born with exceptional abilities was monitored, categorized, and bound. Those deemed too powerful or rebellious faced severe consequences, often forced into servitude or captivity. The council had managed to dominate every bloodline that posed a threat to their reign—except for one.

In their arrogance, the council believed they’d erased all traces of Lycan blood—the rarest and most ancient of werewolf lineages. Unknown to them, a single Lycan survivor had eluded their purge. Gifted by the Moon Goddess herself, Lycans were powerful beyond ordinary werewolves, linked directly to the earth and the cosmos. The Moon Goddess, foreseeing the council’s corruption, entrusted this last Lycan with the prophecy, charging him to protect it until the time was right.

In his exile, this last Lycan found a mate—a vampire princess, powerful and cunning in her own right. Together, they forged a bond that defied the boundaries of their races, and with that bond, they sparked the first steps of the prophecy into motion. The union between Lycan and vampire resulted in the birth of a daughter—a child with an untapped well of power and a fate entwined with that of The Order’s prophecy.

As the centuries turned, the council’s oppression continued, unaware that the legacy of The Order had survived. Unseen and unstoppable, a line of descendants waited in the shadows, each generation growing closer to the moment when the planets would align again, when the prophecy would call upon the heirs of The Order to rise once more.

Now, as that long-awaited alignment approaches, whispers of the prophecy resurface among those who still remember the old ways. Beings who had been oppressed, categorized, and diminished sense a shift, a faint promise of something beyond the council’s grip.

In a world divided, where power is everything and balance is but a memory, the prophecy speaks of a return—a return of balance, a rekindling of ancient strength, and the emergence of a New Order. As destiny draws near, the blood of a queen, a hunter, and an alpha will awaken, their combined powers ready to challenge the council’s rule and restore the peace The Order once vowed to protect.
