Blood Tears

Azure is an exiled vampyr, bred and raised to rule the Seven Temples. At seventeen, he was cast out of his House for using dark magic, nearly exposing the carefully locked truth to the world - the "holy" vampyrs were the worst demons of all.

Lynx was a Prince of Fey, an illegitimate and unwanted son of the High King kept alive only for his unrivaled powers of shapeshifting. During a bloody coup headed by the Seelie, he slaughters his father and is forced to flee, leaving all of Faerieland to burn in his wake.

Celeste barely remembers her past. The last Duchess of Raet, an island-nation renowned and feared for its knowledge and vast army of human weapons, she is lost and alone after her home is destroyed in the crossfire of the great war between the Temple of Stars and Sucheon Empire.

Years later, Azure kills for the mysterious Soul King, a fey exiled to the northern lands of Myr long ago who rules a kingdom of monsters and sinners, hoping to one day amass enough power to fell the Blood-Fang Mountains and finally defeat those who destroyed his life.

Lynx finds himself under the protection of the same dark lord, now a brilliant, broken scholar and envoy for his Court. He cares for no one and nothing but the strange blue-haired assassin who moved with the grace of a demon but wielded the power of the sun.

Celeste provides this ruler in the north with invaluable information on the experiments of Raet scholars, seeking to recreate the unnatural warriors that once belonged to her ancestors. Her lifeless, unfeeling existence finds itself one day ripped apart by Azure, the vampyr lord who brings her living men to use in her studies, and the unpredictable fallen fey prince who seemed to be always with him.

And together, they will make all the land weep bitter tears of cold blood.

[Uh. Short story I promised my friend I would write about a couple OCs they created while procrastinating during math class. I have no idea what I'm doing. Please send help.)]
