Skeldirith: Inheritance Of Fire [18+]

*I am currently focusing on my novella, "Heart of Fury"(which is a prequel to this story), but will be working on this one in the summer! Hold tight ❤️

In world the Ashen Creed claims was once dominated by the Eidralari, ancient dragons of fire and dominion, Arenna is raised to ensure such ruin never rises again.

Arenna's life is forged through obedience, ritual, and blood-soaked vows. Curiosity is punished. Doubt is treason. Loyalty is rewarded with power. She is taught a single truth: unbound power is devastation. Creed magic is tethered to Ashhold, where Athirakor, Sovereign of the Ashen Creed, controls its distribution.

She does not question.
She does not disobey.
She hunts what the Creed names as evil.

Until an unsanctioned crosses her path.

A stranger wreathed in fire and shadow.
A man the Creed would condemn without hesitation.
A living echo of a legacy that was intended to remain buried.

His presence feels less like chance and more like something ancient reaching for her; unsettling, forbidden, and impossible to ignore.

Where questioning doctrine is treason and truth is paid for in blood, her loyalty will demand his end.

Fate, however, will demand her heart.

Welcome to Skeldirith 🔥 ⚔️ 🐉
