RavenDarkone
Set in a atmospheric urban fantasy world, Bloody Claws weaves a dark, romantic, and action-packed tale of supernatural intrigue, trauma, and redemption.
In Kerlic, Oregon, The Middle Ground serves as a vital sanctuary where rogue supernaturals-witches, shapeshifters, fae, and vampires-strive for balance, healing, and coexistence. At the heart of this sanctuary is Mateo Lightfeather, a hybrid shaman carrying the terrifying burden of a wendigo shard within his chest. Together with Akihiko, a formidable lunar witch vanguard, and Ryota, an elusive chameleon assassin-turned-fiancé, Mateo works to protect the vulnerable from both internal darkness and external forces.
When a traumatized Lycan survivor named Elena escapes an iron-bound pack driven by dark magic and cybernetic corruption, the sanctuary's peace is shattered. Facing shadow syndicates, ancient vampire kings, corrupt law enforcement directors, and the encroaching "Long Cold," Mateo and his allies must unite to stand against those who treat supernaturals as weapons.
Bloody Claws explores themes of found family, overcoming trauma, carrying ancient burdens, and finding humanity amidst monstrous powers.
