Barried

In the ancient kingdom of Velrithar, where power is bargained and blood remembers, the Valehart family once stood as the realm's beating heart-noble, powerful, unbreakable.

But when the king and queen are slain by unknown sorcery and silence, their children are left to inherit not peace, but prophecy.

At the center stands Merikh-the cursed youngest, born under a bleeding moon with crystal growing from her flesh and death woven into her veins. Feared by her people, shielded by her brothers, she is both a girl and a weapon. A prophecy bound in heels and runes.

Beside her walks Ulysses, the wrathful heir with eyes like bloodfire and a thirst for vengeance that could swallow the stars. Eamon, the golden protector, a shield forged in love, straining under the weight of legacy and loyalty. And in the shadows? Achlys, Merikh's closest friend, turned rival-a would-be hero twisted into a villain by love, envy, and fate.

As houses gather for a royal event to forge alliances-or destroy them-old grudges surface, secrets slip through cracks, and destinies clash. The ancient moon watches. The runes hum. And somewhere far above, the Ancient One stirs... remembering everything.

This is not a tale of heroes.
This is the slow, beautiful ruin of gods and heirs.
This is Velrithar-a kingdom cursed to burn from the inside out.
