Court Of Ravens And Ruin の小説・ストーリー

I continued. Marti’s lips were pursed, she hesitated a small moment, her eyes searching to make so no one stood too close to us. “The Obsidian Circle.” She mumbled. “Blackthorn has this creepy secret society thing. Rich heirs, secret meetings, weird traditions. I guess they may just be rumors–the things I hear about them. But basically those you see with those rings and symbols are part of it.” She narrated. I think about it for a moment. Secret society? Maybe it was just some super exclusive elite club.

I barely close the door behind me before pulling out my phone again, my fingers moving faster this time, almost impatient. I open my inbox. The message is still there. WELLINGTON AND NANI ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. YOU’RE PART OF THEIR BIG PLAN FOR REVENGE. ANYONE WHO HAS HIS HEIR DIES. My breath catches in my throat. I read it again. And again. And again. Each time, the meaning sinks deeper and becomes more terrifying. What does this even mean? Revenge against who? And… his heir? My stomach twists painfully. Does that mean…

"Is there any chance my father knows about it?" "Unlikely. The entrance was sealed with Daevari magic. Only someone of my blood can open it, and as far as anyone knows, I'm the last of my kind." Eron moved away from the window and sat in the chair across from me, his movements careful and deliberate. "But getting there will be the problem. The ruins are in the Blackthorn Range, high in the mountains. The only path passes within sight of three Crescent Fang outposts." "So we'd have to sneak through territory crawling with my father's soldiers, climb a mountain, break into an ancient vault, and get back out again. All while Aldrich is preparing for war and probably expecting me to try somethin

Outside, high above Willowbrook Academy, a black raven circled silently in the sky. Watching. Waiting. And hidden beneath its feathers... A single crimson eye glowed with dark magic. The raven disappeared into the clouds. A tense silence settled over the library. I looked from Magnus to the headmaster, trying to understand the fear that had suddenly overtaken the room. “What is the Raven Order?” I asked. Magnus exhaled slowly. “They are not merely an organization.” “They are the oldest cult in recorded history.” Liam’s face went pale. “The ones responsible for the Fall of the Moon Kingdom?”

A massive blur of black slammed into the rogue mid-air, jaws clamping around its throat with a sickening crunch. Vharos. The direwolf shook the rogue like a ragdoll before tossing its corpse aside. His golden eyes turned to me, assessing, before he stepped aside. And then I saw him. Samael. But not in his human form. His wolf was massive, almost as large as Vharos, with midnight black fur and eyes that glowed red in the darkness. Blood dripped from his muzzle, staining his fur, and the sight was so terrifying I couldn't breathe.

work. I tried to pivot, to shield Rita with my back, but the butt of a tactical rifle connected with the base of my skull. The world didn't go black immediately; it dissolved into a sickening, swirling gray. I felt Rita being torn from my grip, her scream the last thing I heard before the floor rose up to meet me. I woke up to the smell of ozone and rust. I tried to stretch, but my knuckles hit cold, unforgiving metal. My knees hit the same. I was upright, pinned in a space so narrow I couldn't even draw a full breath. It was a vertical metal box, a coffin for the living, standing on end.

I had intended to break her, to firmly remind her who exactly she married but the moment she stood over Gerald, cold and completely unbothered about the pooling blood, something stupid snapped inside me, she looked so damn good playing the boss. And then this bitch broke my nose, I touched the bridge of my nose, wincing slightly as a fresh throb of pain shot through my face. I pulled over at the secure yard a few blocks away from the warehouse, stepping into the cool night air, I washed the blood from my face and stripped out my ruined shirt, staring into the cracked mirror of the locker room, I looked deep into my own eyes. Rowan Moretti had officially declared war, he had shot my brother,

Silver flames burned along the walls without heat, casting eerie light across hundreds of kneeling figures below. Hollows. Thousands of them. Their heads bowed in absolute silence. And at the center of it all. me. No. Her. The first Queen of Ruin sat upon a throne of obsidian, draped in dark armor lined with glowing cracks. A silver crown rested upon her head like it belonged there. Like it had never belonged anywhere else. Her face slowly lifted. And I was staring at myself. Same eyes. Same face. Only colder. Older. Broken in ways I couldn’t understand.

she whispered, but her broken voice was still audible. “Don’t be fooled, boy,” Baron pressed. “She’s been practicing that trembling voice for years.” Hailey stared at both Alex's father and mother confused, 'what does he mean by she's a manipulator.' “ENOUGH!” The word ripped from Alex’s throat, shaking the room into silence. His fury was palpable, his presence suffocating. “How dare you,” he growled, stepping between Jenny and Baron. “How dare you speak like that, Baron Vanguard, when you yourself are the definition of a manipulator!”

Evidence against her father. Nothing unexpected. Then… she paused. A hidden folder. "No..." I leaned forward. She opened it. The Black Ledger. For one second, I forgot to breathe. Every muscle in my body locked. She wasn't supposed to find that. No one was. I watched her scroll through the files. Company after company. Organization after organization. Then she reached Raven Holdings. My company or rather the company Enzo wanted the world to believe belonged to me. Her expression changed instantly. Confusion. Disbelief. Fear.
