when the cat carries thorns
Born into a cold and loveless childhood, Moon was an unwanted heir in a ruthless demonic empire. Neglected by her father and despised by her mother, she was cast aside in favor of her brother, Sirius. When he was crowned as the next emperor, her rage consumed her, leading to the brutal massacre of her family and the start of her reign.
Though she found fleeting solace in a rare love, tragedy struck when she accidentally killed her husband, sparking a war that divided empires. As the years passed, she set her sights on a greater battle-leading the demon race in a war against the angels, nearly wiping them out and securing her people's survival.
Now, as the dust settles and her empire stands unchallenged, whispers of change begin to stir. Forces beyond her understanding creep into her world, and for the first time in centuries, Moon finds herself facing an uncertain future. Will she continue down the path of a feared conqueror, or is there something more waiting for her beyond the throne she fought so hard to claim?
