🖤 Ashes of the Veilborn
Dark Fantasy | Tragic Romance | Court Intrigue | Rebirth
On the night the stars disappeared, a girl was born-
a Veilborn princess never meant to exist.
Feared for her magic. Silenced by her family. Marked from birth.
Seraphyne Aelira lived her first life as a girl far too innocent for the world that raised her.
She feared her older brother's hand, flinched at her father's voice, and learned quickly:
no one defends a cursed child.
Not even herself.
Her only light was her older sister-the only one who ever truly loved her.
But when tragedy struck, they said she caused it.
A fire. A scream. A lie.
And one day, when the fear and pain grew too much-
Seraphyne snapped.
Her magic-wild, ancient, Veilborn-exploded from her.
And though she didn't understand it, couldn't even control it...
The court saw a monster.
From that day on, even their whispers were edged with terror.
But even shadows can love.
Years later, Seraphyne met Kaelion Draxmere Vaebrith.
Their love was quiet. Fierce. Immediate.
Like souls recognizing each other from lifetimes past.
But it wasn't enough.
Manipulated by her jealous guardian 𝐀𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐧...
And deceived by the golden noblewoman Altheira, whose smile could ruin empires...
Seraphyne was framed-
And executed for a crime someone else committed.
She was not killed by an enemy...
But by someone who knew her best.
Now, she is reborn-
Haunted by the past.
Carrying a power that no longer sleeps.
And remembering every betrayal, every lie.
She remembers how Altheira fooled her.
How Kaelion stood still as she was taken.
And how the court feared a girl who only ever wanted to be loved.
But Seraphyne no longer craves their acceptance.
She has returned not to forgive-
But to uncover the truth, expose the traitor, and set fire to the lies that destroyed her.
Fate chose her once.
Now she chooses herself.
