“You felt it again, didn’t you?”
She nodded slowly.
Before she could answer—
A scream came from the far end of the village.
Both of them turned.
A young hunter ran into the street, pale and shaking.
“You need to see this!”
Kael frowned.
“What now?”
The hunter pointed toward the forest edge.
“They left something behind.”
Aria and Kael hurried after him.
A small group had gathered near the treeline.
No one was speaking.
They stepped aside as Aria approached.
And she froze.
Carved into the dirt in massive claw marks was a symbol.
A crescent moon.
And beneath it—
One single word.
MOONBORN
Kael’s voice dropped to a whisper.
“…Vargan knows.”
The warmth in Aria’s chest pulsed again.
Stronger this time.
Somewhere deep in the forest—
A wolf howled.
And for the first time since the battle ended…
Aria realized something terrifying.
The power inside her hadn’t awakened to protect her.
It had awakened because something ancient had finally found her..
What is this power that has awakened inside of aria and how will it help her overcome the battle that is yet to come...
