In the continent of Ru'aun, Lords rule over their cities as kings and queens. Cities that are always in constant struggle against each other, criminals that stalk the streets, and the mysterious demons that lurk in the shadows.
        Natilia Lycan is the daughter of the most influential woman Ru'aun has ever seen, a Lord who unified Ru'aun's east coast, brought a villiage back from ruin (twice), travelled and fought in other mystical dimensions, ended a war, and established a Capitol city so great that it stands as a beacon of strength.
        It's a great name to live up to, and as the youngest of her brood of two brothers and three sisters, Natilia knows she won't succeed by remaining in her mother's shadow. She trained for years in the warriors arts, yet always falls behind expectations. She alone sees the flaws in the harmony, the vanity and naivety which peace has caused. She intends to fix it.
        And she is not alone. Natilia draws to her people with similar dreams and beliefs, those who will help her with her goals. Those who will help her escape and forge a new destiny.
        It's a dangerous path. Is she ready?

ONLY CH 1-10 OPEN. AVAILABLE ON AMAZON KINDLE! ❤️ If you're here for your typical werewolf story, mine isn't it. There is no mighty Alpha Knight that will come save me, take care of all my problems and love me unconditionally. No, for I am a savage. 'The Bloody Red Queen' is what they call me. I ascended my throne as Luna of the Nightingale pack after the death of my parents. I was a single child of two wolves of a very special ancestry, the last two descendants of the Gypsy Gail line. No, my parents weren't related, no incest here. However, both did carry blood from the first Lycan clan to ever exist. The Gypsy Gail pack. It is said it got its name and its power from the Gypsies who lived amongst it. They too praised the Moon Mother and in return, she soon paired them with her beloved creations as mates. This of course, changed the history of Lycans forever. Soon, werewolves with unique capabilities came to exist. Many used these gifts to better the world around them and others, well obviously didn't. Then there were those that were not gifted abilities. They grew scornful and jealous. When they broke away, they formed packs of their own and soon wars raged. Over the millennia, the Gypsy Gail pack fell, as did most of its descendants. Only a few lived on in secret, passing down their traditions and rituals in dark corners amongst those highly trusted. The world now believes that the Moon Mother has turned her back on the Lycans of today. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many no longer seek her guidance or offer her praise. Those that still do are looked down upon as weak. But as the heir to the last of the Gypsy Gail gifts, I am to right the wrongs. My purpose is to put the Moon Mother back in the forefront and unite the Lycan packs. To bring a permanent peace. I am Luna Amina Sage of the Nightingale pack. And this is my purpose. This, is my legacy.
