The Chain of Moonblood
In a world where magic flows through the veins of the Beastmen and humans are nothing more than fragile prey, the line between survival and death is razor-thin.
Lysandra Elowen has lived all her life in the quiet simplicity of her village, believing the tales of dragons, wolves, and other monstrous beasts are just myths. That is, until the night the northern wolves descend—fast, ruthless, and merciless. In a blur of claws, teeth, and unnatural strength, her home is torn apart, her family scattered, and she is dragged into a world she never imagined could exist.
The Auction House of the North is a realm of fear and fascination, where humans are displayed like jewels and Beastmen flaunt their power, both magical and physical, to assert dominance. It is here that Lysandra first encounters Veyrath Dranevor, the Dragon Emperor himself—his golden eyes burning like molten sunlight, his human form concealing an undeniable, bestial majesty. Unlike the wolves who captured her, he does not strike with immediate violence. Instead, he watches… and waits.
Bound by chains and the rules of a world she does not understand, Lysandra must navigate a realm of predators far beyond anything she has known. Each glance from Veyrath is both a threat and a temptation; each display of his power a reminder of the fragility of her existence. And yet, amidst the fear and bloodshed, something dangerous stirs—a fascination that neither fully understands.
In a kingdom where humans are mere property and Beastmen rule with fire and claw, survival is not enough. Lysandra must learn to read the unspoken rules, to endure the cruel tests of magic, and to survive the gaze of a creature whose heart is as untamed as his bloodline. But as Veyrath’s interest in her grows, she discovers that even in a world of domination, desire and power can intertwine in ways she never imagined.
Will Lysandra Elowen be just another prize in the Dragon Emperor’s collection—or will the bond that forms between predator and prey change the fate of two worlds forever?
