Chapter 17: Blood‑Moon Revelation

Spring crept into Frostfang not with warmth, but with silence.

Meltwater carved new streams through the tundra. Stone paths cracked under sudden thaw. And in the heart of the Citadel, the archives opened for the first time in decades—revealing more than dust and old scrolls.

Inside, they found ledgers, scrolls, maps... and proof.

The Silver Blood was not a mutation.

It was a migration.

Theo stood behind her, reading over her shoulder.
