Blackthorn Skyrim Novels & Stories

“Ryker, my boy, you know I’ve always had a knack for making deals. Let’s talk like civilized men.” Ryker’s grip on me tightened, and I could feel his anger boiling over. “Civilized men? You’re anything but a civilized, old man.” “Don’t listen to him. We should leave, please.” I begged him. Mr. Blackthorn’s tone turned persuasive, almost seductive. “Son, think about it. I’ve got connections, resources, and opportunities you can’t even imagine. Join me, and together, we can build an empire that no one can touch.”

said one witch urgently as they tugged at Sky's hand trying to guide her through a doorway leading outside following everyone else's escape route.

He told him it meant He Who Lies in Wait, and that’s exactly what he was now. The large Indian stumbled over something, kicked a dead raccoon out of his path and then continued skulking through the markers and shadows. That was the second dead raccoon he’d run afoul of tonight. Plus he noticed a lot of birds were beginning to drop from above, turning up in the oddest places around Blackwater, with their wings twisted and pointing to the sky. All quite strange, frankly. The ancient Romans had watched the skies and the birds, Salt knew, believing they could interpret signs of things to come from their migrations. Then again, they’d rummaged about the innards of sacrificed animals, too, trying

“Figured this was a worthy occasion.” We drink in companionable silence for a while. The courtyard’s empty except for us, torches sputtering in the wind. Somewhere above, a banner snaps. Blackthorn’s sigil, wolf and thorn, dark against the stars. “I’m trying to drink enough to forget all the nonsense he spouted about us,” she says suddenly. “But you heard it too, right?” “Oh, yes,” I say dryly. “He was very detailed. You missed the part where he claimed we invented a new technique for survival cuddling.”

“Maybe. Or something born from blood magic.” He looked toward the forest. “Then whatever it is, it’s close.” — At dawn, they reached the outskirts of the dead forest. Blackthorn. Its trees were unlike any Aria had seen—twisted like iron, with bark the color of soot and leaves like glass. No animals stirred here. No wind rustled. It was a place abandoned by time. They moved cautiously. Even the wolves refused to tread heavily. As they entered the heart of the woods, the temperature dropped. Snow began to fall—not soft or natural, but crystalline, sharp like ash turned solid.

Instead, the heavy tapestry hanging on the west wall rustled softly. I scrambled off the bed before my mind even fully processed the danger. Blackthorn was three hundred years of one generation slapping new corridors onto another's, meaning there wasn't a single room in the fortress lacking a hidden secondary entrance. I hadn't thought to ask about one, and now the shadowed figure stepping out from behind the hanging was already halfway across the floor. Moon-silver possesses a distinct scent: cold, faintly sweet, like a silver coin held too long in a warm palm. I smelled the blade before I ever saw it glint in the dark.

It did not. What it offered instead was the growing certainty that whatever had begun with Jenny’s curiosity and Ayla’s wrongness and Finn’s betrayal did not end inside ordinary pack war. The night had cracked something wider open than that. Somewhere behind us lay Blackthorn, broken and turned from its centre. Somewhere ahead lay Greyfen, with their old records and older half-mocking devotion to buried things. Between the two sat a symbol none of us understood and the memory of men who moved like shadows wearing the scent of something ancient.

Are you planning to boast about this victory for the rest of the cycle, Ebu?” The mountain breeze is vastly gentler this high above the territory. I am standing completely bare-legged on Ifu Okoye’s high stone ledge, one of my palms resting lightly on the reinforced crystal perimeter, the other curved protectively over the heavy, swollen crescent of my male womb. The sprawling tribal expanse of Blackthorn City unfolds directly beneath my position, a shimmering grid of primal fires and glowing arcane runes, settling into a deep silence during this thin hour separating the midnight hunt from the dawn.

He gestured at me. "You can't kill me, Silas. I own this fucking city... and I will get back everything you shitheads took from me." His smile dropped. "I will end The Black Rose..." he seethed. "One petal at a time." He laughed. "Isn't that exciting?" He put his hands in his pockets and turned around, not caring about the gun being aimed at his back. Lorenzo and Noir were behind Silas, along with several men that hadn't been there before, pointing their guns at the opposing men.

The elder, heart aching, still had to ask, "Are you sure this will stop them from unleashing chaos?" "It's made from the World Tree. Their connection's cut, so they can't." That was the reply. The Demons' commander scoffed and said, "You're harsh with your own wives. Almost admirable, in a demonic way." "The Twin Blossoms of Ruin deserve nothing less," Rein said. Blood tears fell from my eyes; my every memory of Rein turned to dust and echoes. However, even with their research, those two harbored doubts. So, Rein leaned in close and whispered, "This is just to buy time. I swear I'll come to the Demon World to save you."
