For the first decade of her life, Aria was like any other child: carefree, happy, innocent. She had her two brothers to keep her company, a best friend who could count as another sibling and loving parents who doted on the four equally. There was nothing that could harm her reality, but like all good things, something did. Her parents murdered, her eldest brother and her best friend blame her, and her twin tries with all his might to protect her, but under the threat of abuse himself, he could only do so much. 

Over seven years later, Aria is ready to find her soulmate, her last hope to freedom, but her luck hasn’t changed. Rejected and scorned, Aria and her twin pack whatever they can carry and escape their fate. From there, they’ll follow an ancient calling, becoming stronger and fiercer as they go. Through this calling, they’ll discover old wars coming back to the light, uncover mysteries and secrets that have been lost to the ravenous of time and through this journey, their destinies.

Can Aria rise to fulfil the unimaginable, or will she fall under the pressure of it all? The fate of Earth may rest in her hands.

A Leader Must Rise

Chase was used to feeling anxiety, but this was on another level. It continued to grow when Andrew slid down to the floor with a soft groan, rubbing a hand down his face. Even Drake appeared apprehensive, hands shaking as he gripped Andrew’s forearm to pull him back to his feet. 


‘Should’ve kept your mouth shut, brother,’ Drake said. His tone quivered, effectively ruining his attempt at a tease. Although, Andrew smiled at the effort. 


‘Just cut out my tongue; that should fix everything,’ he said. Drake’s laugh was more vigorous, but it wobbled as they continued their playful banter. 


‘Nah, but I will alert the media a dead man is walking.’ 


‘Ha, ha. You’re hilarious but no less accurate.’ 


‘What?…’ Justin whispered, glancing at Chase. The young alpha could only shrug his shoulders, bewildered. ‘What was that just now?’ 


‘Oh, you’re still here?’ Andrew said. 


‘Drew,’ Drake warned when they flinched at his tone. 


‘Don’t ask me to turn it down, Drake.’
