Cursed Blood

In an age of blood feuds and ancient magic, the heirs of two rival clans dared to love in secret. To sever this forbidden bond, their people's witch doctors wove a terrible fate: he was cursed to eternal night, becoming the first of the Vampyres; she was bound to the ravenous moon, the primal mother of all Werewolves. Torn apart by darkness and instinct, they were forced to lead their new, monstrous kin in an endless war, each haunted by the memory of a love they thought had perished.

But the heavens themselves intervened. Under the sacred and singular darkness of a total eclipse, the curses faltered. In that fleeting moment, they found each other again. Their love, no longer a secret, became a rebellion. It produced six children and a singular, unshakeable goal: to forge an empire from the ashes of their old clans, a kingdom where their cursed bloodlines could rule as one, forever.
