PROLOGUE They say the world was born from silence—and will return to it in fire.Long before the kingdoms rose and fell, before the blood of mortals mingled with the cursed, the Banshees sang to the dying stars. Their voices carried fate. Their tears marked the end.In the heart of Nightvale, where the wind mourns and the moon never wanes, a child was born beneath a sky choked with smoke. Seraphina, daughter of sorrow and storm, was never meant to live a quiet life. She bore the scream of endings in her soul and the burden of a future carved in flame.The world she knew was already dying—ripped apart by hatred between creatures of light and shadow. And as the whispers of war grew louder, a forbidden bond was sealed in secret: the heir of Nightvale and the king of monsters, drawn together not by love, but by fate’s cruel design.Now, as kingdoms crumble and ancient prophecies awaken, Seraphina must choose. Between her blood and her heart. Between what was written—and what she dares to rewrite.Because in the end, every fire leaves behind ashes.And from those ashes, eternity begins.
