After the catastrophic Burning, a teen named Lilith fights for her freedom from the clan that reclaimed her after her entire family was lost. They see her as inferior, a troubled child, and she's kept captive like their lives depend on it. Because maybe they do. Treated with anything less than respect, she is extremely lucky to find a friend in the clan. To find a friend is to find hope. Hope of escaping.
She sometimes hears whispers about a curse, about the dragons who scorched their cities and homes, who kills millions of people. Then, she'll get glances or even stares, looks that hold so much pure hatred. Lilith (Lili) doesn't know how she could've upset so many people so badly; she hadn't even known them a year ago. Before...
The dragons hold the power to completely annihilate the human race, but no one knows why they haven't already. Nobody knows where they are now of where they came from. In her heart, Lili feels like the beasts have the knowledge she seeks. They did, though, kill her family, so revenge may be on her mind, too. Revenge against the rest of the mangled humanity, like the torturous clan. Then, revenge against the dragons.
With a newly lit flame, Lilith sets out with a plan. At this point, she believes in destiny---not happy endings.
Sincerely,
Willow M.M.

"In a world ruled by power and tyranny, peace is a distant dream. You were once a child, innocent and new to life, yet someone ignited the flames of destruction, suffocating your breath and stealing away the purity of your air. All that remained were fleeting drops of water and the faintest hope that the fires would one day cease. Perhaps you were gifted, your powers beyond what was ever expected, but power isn't just strength-it's a threat. Years passed, and you grew to despise everyone and everything. In rage and vengeance, you found a twisted kind of salvation. Amidst the chaos, you found home with someone you've picked up while desperately trying to escape the chains of fate. And though agony shaped my path, I never wavered from my purpose. Through hell and blood, I built my name and wealth, offering others a chance for redemption, for lives once broken like my own. Now, after all this time, I've prepared to fulfill the final task of my life. Many will weep, blood will stain the earth, but certainly, they will pay for stealing my childhood. - Anastas

Bloodshed. This is the way of things, and this is what happened between the dragons and mankind. Once they were allies. Man was ever growing and learning, while dragons were their guardians, watching over them. But mankind was greedy, and from that greed bred betrayal towards their great allies. In times long ago, dragon and man worked together to rid their realms of the demonic presence that once invaded their lands. Together, they defeated that enemy. But now, dragons are near extinct and the demonic menace has returned. There are humans that possess abilities that allow them to fight back, but it is not enough. Such humans have banded together, in a group called Corvin's blades. They hope to be able to defeat their enemy without the aid of dragons this time... but there is more to all of this than anyone understands. This story follows multiple youthful characters as they not only aid in the fight against the demonic threat, but learn and grow as they discover more about the lands they live in and of themselves. Views on dragons are changing, demons and spirits are invading, and two individuals are in the center of everything that is happening. Was it fate and destiny... or choice and coincidence? *Rated M for descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes* * Chapters to be updated* *Cover art was made by myself.
