Crown Of Blood Novels & Stories

Bardolph attacked Lobo, but bound warriors crashed between them, and the courtyard exploded into snarls before Conri’s command froze Northridge blades. “Stop!” I shouted, and my voice carried enough royal blood that even several Blackfang warriors stumbled beneath it. The servant’s blood crawled toward the crown like a thin red thread, and my sister watched it with horror and longing fighting across her face. Otsana threw silver dust across the thread, breaking it before the crown could drink fully, but the damage had already begun. “The crown tasted unwilling blood,” Otsana said, looking at me as if the night had just become shorter.

Its flesh had blackened completely around the chest while veins twisted unnaturally beneath dead skin. The doctor lowered his head quickly. “Her blood reacts differently than expected.” I moved toward the largest table in the center chamber where dozens of notes and ancient texts had been scattered beside blood samples taken from previous experiments. One symbol had been circled repeatedly across the pages. A crown. The Crown of Night. Interesting how myths stopped sounding like myths once enough blood entered the story. “You knew,” a voice said carefully behind me. I looked toward Malvek standing near the laboratory entrance. Old vampire. Useless politician. Too cautious to survive what wa

Said Mia, “But never could decide” “Me too, Dad’s birthmark is in the shape of a crown, but Me and Dad could never work out what mine was either.” Rota said as she ran her fingers over it “What is “the blood” or the “Blood curse” mean?” “Well, the Gift of the Ziion Blood is compassion, kindness, Patience and looking out for others.

At the founding of our Planet Ziion, the first people thought that to make sure there was always a rightful, true and just person to rule over them, they made it so that a ruler had to be “Of the blood” or have pure Ziion blood in their veins. They formed an oath that the King or Queen had t

I had only seen it once in a forbidden archive buried in the bone libraries of the Shadow Fangs. The Crownless Wolf. A bloodline long thought purged. A royal line that walked with spirit beasts and commanded ancient magic. And if he has returned, and if he is hers, then Zenith is no longer just a sweet artist with gentle eyes. She is standing in the middle of a war.

“It is not wolf’s blood alone. Forbidden, and yet… intoxicating.” Silence rippled across the chamber like a blade being unsheathed. Ivy leaned forward, her expression sharp now, playful no more. “Caspian’s child.” I tilted my head, lips curving into a predator’s smile. “So the old king’s sins didn’t die with him after all.” Valentina’s eyes burned with cold fire. “Then the prophecy is real.” “And so is she,” I murmured. My gaze drifted, almost wistful.

The great doors close with a sound like breaking bones, leaving me alone with the ache of this cursed crown and the weight of a kingdom built on graves. The crown itself pulses against my temples, its once-brilliant gold now tarnished to the color of old blood. It used to shine like captured sunlight, a beacon of hope and righteous rule.
