Silver Queen of Lunar Ridge
The pressure from the tower was pushing against me, and my dormant royal bloodline magic was fighting back, trying to force its way to the surface to protect my body.
I gasped softly, my vision turning blurry and dark at the edges. I looked down at my hands.

Beneath my pale skin, my veins were beginning to glow with a faint, dangerous golden light. Bright, microscopic golden threads were spreading rapidly up my wrists, pulsing in time with my frantic heartbeat. If Gideon saw this, the secret would be out. A simple scholarship girl didn't have golden blood. Only the extinct High Sovereign line possessed that forbidden light.
