Sophie Crystal

« Madame Dubois, êtes-vous sûre de vouloir changer votre nom ? Après le changement, tous vos diplômes, documents et passeport devront être mis à jour. » Sophie a hoché la tête : « Oui, j'en suis sûre. » L'employée essayait encore de la convaincre : « C'est assez compliqué de changer de nom à l'âge adulte, et puis votre nom actuel est si joli. Vous ne voulez pas y réfléchir encore un peu ? » « Ce n'est pas nécessaire. » Sophie a signé le formulaire de consentement : « Merci. » « Très bien, donc le nouveau nom que vous avez choisi est... Céleste, c'est bien ça ? » « Oui, c'est ça. » Céleste, comme s'envoler vers le ciel.

Mein Ehemann Tobias Schmidt liebte mich abgöttisch. Alle sagten, er sei der perfekte Ehemann. Doch er hatte mich dreimal verraten. Das erste Mal war vor drei Jahren. Sein bester Freund Lukas Klein starb, um ihn zu retten. Ohne mein Wissen heiratete Tobias Lukas’ Freundin Sophie Lange. Völlig gebrochen wollte ich gehen. Noch in derselben Nacht brachte er Sophie außer Landes, kniete dann vor mir nieder und flehte verzweifelt: „Mia, Lukas ist meinetwegen gestorben. Ich muss mich um seine Witwe kümmern. Diese Heiratsurkunde ist nur eine Absicherung für Sophie. Sobald ich Lukas’ Tod gerächt habe, werde ich mich von ihr scheiden lassen! Die Einzige, die ich liebe, bist du!“ Diesmal verzieh ich ihm. Ein Jahr später verkündete Tobias auf einer Pressekonferenz öffentlich, dass Sophie die Ehefrau des Familienoberhaupts sei. Er erklärte mir: „Sophie ist die einzige Tochter der Mafiafamilie Lange. Durch unsere Allianz wollen wir Lukas’ Tod rächen! Ich habe mit ihr vereinbart, dass wir uns scheiden lassen, sobald wir die Mörder zur Strecke gebracht haben – dann heirate ich dich sofort!“ Und ich glaubte ihm wieder. Vor einem Jahr wurde er auf einem Empfang unter Drogen gesetzt und verbrachte eine Nacht mit Sophie. Er verschwieg mir die Wahrheit, bis ich ihn vor zwei Wochen zufällig im Krankenhaus sah, wie er sie bei einer Schwangerschaftsuntersuchung begleitete. Er senkte den Kopf, wagte nicht, mich anzusehen, und sagte leise: „Mia, das war ein unglücklicher Zufall. Sobald das Kind da ist, schicke ich sie weg. Meine Eltern werden sich um das Baby kümmern. Sie werden dir niemals begegnen!“ Unter dem Vorwand der Liebe brachte Tobias mich dazu, immer wieder nachzugeben. Doch nun wusste ich, dass es keine Zukunft mehr für uns gab. Es war an der Zeit zu gehen.

Two decades earlier, the realms of the Four Courts waged war against the covens of witches. Neither side would yield, though both were bleeding themselves dry in a war that spanned five brutal years. The Courts relied on their noble bloodlines, the witches on their wild and ancient spells. Each skirmish ended in ash, with neither enemy capable of breaking the other. Then a sorcerer from the Courts revealed a weapon: an octagonal crystal forged from eight different stones, each carved from the essence of a court. On the battlefield, before witches or nobles could comprehend what was happening, the crystal ignited. A blinding eruption of light burst forth, eight rays fusing into one unbearable brilliance. It was not merely sight that was torn away in that flash — but power, essence, and soul. Both Courts and witches alike fell, drained of the magic that had defined them. When the light faded, the battlefield lay silent under a sky of glittering dust. The enchantments were gone. The witches’ spellcraft, the courts’ line-born sorcery — extinguished forever. Neither side had won. Both had lost. And magic never returned.

At the pack's festival, a witch hands me a crystal orb that reveals the truth. When I ask "why," she says she was entrusted to deliver it and reminds me only to use it when I am alone. As the image in the orb grows clearer, and my mate appears, I forget how to breathe. "Jared Hamilton, do you love me?" a woman asks in her sweetest voice, curling her arms around his neck. "I do. Of course, I do. You're the only one I'll love for the rest of my life, Luciana." My hand slips. Even after the crystal orb hits the floor, I can still hear them talking. "I swear before the sacred Moon Goddess that I'll be with you, Luciana Rose, until my very last breath. If I ever break this oath, may I never know joy again." I feel suffocated. All I can do is stare in disbelief. The woman he vows to love for life is none other than my very best friend.

Xalara Silvyn, a seemingly powerless girl from the Shadowveil slums, is claimed as a fated mate by Cassian Holt, heir to a powerful noble house of ember magic. After being brought to his estate, she discovers their bond was merely Cassian's temporary fascination. At his engagement gala to Vionna Kress, he publicly betrays Xalara, relegating her to servitude under his cruel fiancée. As Vionna systematically humiliates Xalara, the crystal pendant Xalara found in a hidden chamber beneath the Veil becomes her sole comfort. With help from Cassian's brother Verin, she learns the crystal may connect to House Silvyn—a noble family of essence-based primal magic supposedly destroyed centuries ago. When Vionna arranges to transfer Xalara for potentially fatal bond severance after her wedding to Cassian, Xalara's desperate situation takes an unexpected turn. During the wedding feast, she encounters Lord Elaric Nox, a feared shadow magic tyrant avoiding political marriage proposals. After overhearing his frustrations with traditional arrangements, Xalara's impulsive quip "Where do I sign?" intrigues him. Elaric's emissaries arrive at the wedding with a formal offer—a contract marriage of mutual benefit. Elaric gains a shield against political marriage pressure while offering Xalara protection from Vionna and access to knowledge about her crystal and heritage. Their three-year contract specifies a purely practical arrangement with no emotional obligations. At House Nox, Xalara begins training in essence magic under Elaric's guidance, discovering her "minor" warming ability is actually rare primal magic thought extinct. As she awakens to her true abilities and learns about her possible connection to House Silvyn, the bond with Cassian naturally fades. Meanwhile, a complex but respectful dynamic develops between Xalara and Elaric as they navigate their unconventional arrangement.
