Untold Stories (Manga)

Four-year-old Irina Vale falls asleep safe in her own bed and wakes alone in a world that should not exist.

Cold rain pours through an ancient forest. Strange creatures stalk the dark. Her blanket is torn, her feet are bare, and the storm above her seems to cry whenever she does. Lost and terrified, Irina believes she has been abandoned-until two black panthers find her.

One has burning red eyes.
One has glowing green eyes.

They are not ordinary beasts. They are Scourgette and Seth Bloodclaw, runaway royal heirs of Requiem Aeternum, a brutal kingdom ruled by their father, King Malrec. Believed missing by the realm, the twins have spent years hiding from the crown, from the blood-binding magic placed inside them, and from the painful memory of the mother they thought was dead.

But Irina's arrival changes everything.

She is no warrior. She is not a chosen queen or trained sorceress. She is a frightened child who wants her mother. Yet within her lives a rare power: the ability to heal wounds, calm storms, speak to beasts, and mend broken bonds. Her gift may be the only thing strong enough to free Seth and Scourgette from their father's control.

With the help of Alex, a gentle little wolf boy who hears hearts, Irina discovers that she was called into Requiem Aeternum by Queen Seralyne, Seth and Scourgette's mother, who is trapped between moon-law, iron-blood magic, and the cruelty of her ex-husband. Seralyne did the unforgivable to save her children: she pulled Irina from her world.

Now Irina must face impossible choices no child should ever have to make. Does she help the family that found her, even though she was taken from her own? Can she forgive the queen who hurt her to save others? Can Seth and Scourgette stop running from the crown, their father, and their grief? And can a little girl who only wants to go home become the heart that breaks a king's chains?
