The Queen's Chains

In a world where vampires rule, witches hide in shadow, and wolves are bound by ancient laws, the Lunar Ascension is more than a festival-it is a test of survival. Every year, a wolf is chosen to attempt freeing the ancient vampire queen, Seraphine Nocturne, from the magical chains that have held her for centuries. Those who fail do not return, their blood fueling the power of those who orchestrated their deaths.

Veronica has always been underestimated. An omega of the Blackdust Pack, she carries the blood of witches in her veins-a secret that could be her greatest strength... or the reason she is the first to die. With the festival only weeks away, whispers of prophecy and betrayal swirl around her. Wolves vanish without a trace, vampires watch every move, and the elders speak in riddles that hint at truths too dangerous to name aloud.

But Veronica is about to discover that nothing is as it seems. The vampires believe no wolf could bear witch blood, and their confidence may be their undoing. As the festival draws near, Veronica must navigate treacherous alliances, awaken the power she barely understands, and decide who to trust. One misstep could cost her life-or unleash a force that none of the supernatural factions are prepared to face.
