Between The Fang and the Claw
432 Views · Ongoing · praiseonyebuchi026
The first time Aura shattered a sacred relic, she was six years old. Her coven never forgave her.
Spells fail in her presence. Magic bends. Candles die the moment she enters a room. For nineteen years, she has survived the fear of her own people by asking no questions — until the night vampires descend from the mountains of Sol Diminium and drag her into the heart of their kingdom.
Hidden within forbidden journals is the truth of her birth: Aura is not simply a witch.
She is something the gods never intended to exist.
Now hunted by immortal factions who would rather see her dead than free, Aura finds herself entangled with Xarion Dravenor — the cold, dangerous vampire prince whose cursed body reacts to her in impossible ways. His hunger stills at her touch. His curse… pauses.
He needs her to find a cure for his dying kind. She needs him to reach the one relic that might keep her from burning alive from the inside out.
Their alliance is a bargain written in blood and desperation.
But the road east runs through lycan territory, ancient sanctuaries, and a valley overrun by ravenous vampires with no humanity left. Every step draws them deeper into a conspiracy older than the war itself — and closer to a truth that could shatter the balance of the world.
Because when gods feud, monsters rise.
And Aura may be the most terrifying one of all.
