π Echoes of the Heir
They say monsters are born in the dark - but what if the real monster is hiding inside you?
Kael has lived his entire life pretending to be normal. He keeps to himself, works part-time at a mechanic's shop, and avoids people like they're poison. The less they know, the safer they are.
But the thing about secrets is... they never stay buried for long.
Every night, Kael wakes from dreams that feel too real - blood, fire, voices whispering his name. And when strange lights begin to flicker around Elderglen, he starts to realize something inside him is breaking loose. Something powerful. Something deadly.
Then there's Lyra - the quiet girl from across the street who sees more than she should. She's gentle, thoughtful, and far too curious for her own good. When she stumbles into Kael's world, her life changes forever.
He tries to push her away.
She refuses to leave.
And somewhere between the silences, the unspoken glances, and the moments neither of them can explain - something dangerous begins to grow between them.
But Lyra doesn't know the truth: her parents once served the King - the very man who slaughtered Kael's real family years ago. The King who now hunts for Kael's power - a force capable of destroying him, or worse, releasing the dark entity buried beneath their world.
As the walls between the human and supernatural realms start to crumble, Kael is forced to face what he truly is: the lost heir of a forgotten bloodline - the only one powerful enough to stop the King's madness... or doom them all.
Love and destiny rarely walk the same path.
And when the truth surfaces, one of them might not survive it.
