Fallen Priestess
**She was chosen by the moon. The world chose to destroy her.** Elyssa, Priestess of the Silver Moon, was sworn to a life of sacred devotion. Her eyes were veiled by holy law. Her body consecrated to the goddess she served. She was never meant to belong to the world of men. Until the night of The Sun's Dominion. When the Sun eclipsed the Moon and the heavens seemed to bow, Elyssa's divine protection vanished. Hunted in the darkness, her prayers unanswered, her sanctity was violated while the Moon stood silent. What was sacred was taken from her by force, not by choice. She survived. That was her crime. Elyssa returns not to sanctuary, but to condemnation. Reverence turns into accusation. Faith curdles into desire. Noble and commoner alike declare her impure, unworthy, unfit to serve the Moon she once embodied. Stones are thrown at her disgrace, not for what she chose, but for what was taken. As the temple closes its doors, the empire gathers to witness her fall. Then the Crown Prince steps forward. Cassian Ravenoir, heir to the Noctyrian Empire, shields her from the mob and defies the silence that condemns her. He offers protection when none remains. His name. His power. His palace. If the temple no longer wants her, he declares, his court will receive her. If she cannot stand as a priestess, she may stand beside him as a crown princess. But safety cannot undo what was lost. Some vows cannot be restored. Some devotions cannot be reclaimed. And the Moon does not forgive the world lightly. This is not a story of salvation. It is a story of faith broken, of dignity stripped away, and of a woman forced to live in a world that only loved her when she was untouchable.Complete
