The Silver-Marked Luna
My fingers brushed over the dusty spine of a massive, leather-bound book decorated with tarnished silver filigree.
The Chronicle of the First Sovereign, the faded gold lettering read.
With trembling hands, I pulled the heavy book off the shelf, carried it to the stone table beneath the lantern, and flipped open the brittle parchment pages.
"Aurelius Draven..." I read aloud into the eerie silence, my eyes scanning the ancient script. "The First King who united the five wolf territories under one banner... alongside his mate, the Sovereign Luna, Lyra of the Silver Mark."
My breath hitched.
