Blood and Embers: Lemondrop

Zaun is not a city for the weak. It's a place where strength is currency, where the desperate fight for scraps, and where the powerful crush anyone who dares to rise. Sevika knows this better than anyone. She's lost count of the bodies left in her wake, the mistakes she's made, and the things she's done to survive. But nothing left a deeper mark than what Draven did to her seventeen years ago.

The only good thing that came of it? Tida-her daughter.

Tida grew up in the shadows of Zaun's underworld, raised by a mother too hardened to show softness but too loyal to ever abandon her. Sevika never spoke of the past, never told Tida where she came from. It didn't matter. What mattered was making sure she could fight, that she could take a hit and get back up, that she would never be prey in a city of predators.

Now seventeen, Tida is more than just a survivor-she's a fighter, a rising name in Zaun's brutal hierarchy. But as she carves her way through the streets, the past she was never told about starts catching up. Whispers of her bloodline spread. Chem-barons, Noxians, and Piltover's enforcers all have their eyes on her. Some see an opportunity. Others see a threat.

With a city on the edge of chaos, Tida is forced to choose: embrace the monster in her blood and take Zaun for herself, or tear it all down and build something new from the rubble. Because in Zaun, power isn't given. It's taken.
