Every year on New Year's Day, witches, wizards, and magical, mystical creatures of all kind unite to watch or compete in a tournament where the chosen ones are pit against each other to compete and share their skills in different areas.
Last year, on The Tournament that marked a new century, the mythical met its worst fear, the discovery of their existence by humankind.
This year, The Tournament will be run by the MCOB (Magical Creatures Operations Bureau), an army created to defend humanity from the "inhumans", as per dictated by rules in a peace treaty signed to stop a war that was erupting between humans and magical beings, which could've ended in armageddon.
Seraphine Luna is a mage, or so people think, because she's half something else entirely. Her mother was one of the strongest mages alive and one of the heroes/victims of the New Year's Day massacre that followed the previous year's festivities, with the survivors being arrested, persecuted, or experimented on for the 3 months during which the battle between both worlds lasted before coming to a truce. Seraphine, being the firstborn, was left in charge of her younger brothers.
New Year's is coming around again, and both Seraphine and her middle brother, Xavier, are eligible as competitors because they are older than 21. What once was an honor, is now riddled with fear of what The Tournament might become at the hands of humanity.
They both await the announcement along with their youngest brother, Atreyu, a teenager, in fear that a mark may appear on their left wrist, signaling having been chosen as a competitor.
As their fear turns into reality, one of them is chosen, and sent to the uncharted territory of a magical tournament run by violent, organized, non-magic humans.
And what the humans might do, is not the only surprise that awaits them.
*An alternate reality where Annabelle (Lunna) and Stella (Selene) do not get along*
In a world where supernatural beings live in an uneasy hierarchy, prophecy speaks of a Silver Wolf whose choices will determine the fate of all. When Princess Angelica is stolen as a child and her true nature magically bound, the careful balance between purebloods and hybrids begins to crumble.
Eleven years later, nineteen-year-old Angel has no memory of her royal heritage. Raised in a remote wolf pack, her unexplained inability to shift forms is the least of her concerns as she approaches her twentieth birthday. But when Commander Zephyr of the Royal Guard arrives at her pack's borders, everything changes. The spell binding her true nature begins to crack, revealing not just her identity as the lost princess, but awakening powers that no Silver Wolf has ever possessed.
Now Angel must navigate court politics, ancient prophecies, and the growing tension between pure blood traditionalists and the hybrid communities they despise. With her newly discovered wolf and a court composed of unlikely allies, she faces impossible choices that could either unite the supernatural world or tear it apart.
As dark forces led by the mysterious witch Morgana gather strength, Angel discovers that recovering her identity is just the beginning. Each new power she manifests comes with a price, and the fate of all supernatural beings rests on her choice between three paths: unity through sacrifice, destruction through fear, or transformation through choice.
Royal Blood is the first installment in a sweeping fantasy romance that explores themes of identity, belonging, and the power of choosing one's own destiny. Perfect for readers who love complex supernatural politics, fated mates, and stories about finding strength in unexpected places
