Serena Blythewood

Seph was once the Holy Maiden of the Crescent Moon Tribe, born with the power to calm frenzied wolves. But during a lunar eclipse on the borderlands, she lost control, causing her clansmen to descend into madness and nearly wiping out the entire tribe. Branded a "Harbinger of Doom," she was forced to leap off a cliff to survive—and the world believed her dead. Five years later, as the eclipse returned, Leo, her former guardian and now the feared "Eclipse Warlord," led his army to purge the wolf realm of the "Harbinger's remnants." The cold and merciless new lord of the Sacred Clan swore to eradicate all traitors, unaware that the one chosen by the Moon Goddess as the "Savior" was the very woman he had once cast into exile.

Exile's Echo

The climb to Lune’s Eye would take a day.


Her body lay still by the fire in a makeshift tent, eyes open, breathing slow but shallow. She wasn’t unconscious. Just... somewhere else.


Leo sat beside her, legs crossed, arms braced on his knees.


Ravik checked her pulse again. “Stable, but fading.”


“She’s not fading,” Leo muttered. “She’s remembering.”


Leo’s hand hovered over hers. “Everything she gave up.”


Inside her mind, Seph wandered a garden long forgotten.


She turned a corner and saw a boy, sitting on a rock wall.


Blood soaked his shirt, but his face was calm.


Seph stepped closer. “She would’ve died otherwise.”


The boy smiled. “You smell like moonlight and medicine.”
