Description
xA Dystopian Lycan Romance
The year is 2115 in North East Scotland. Mankind, once the architects of towering glass cities and dazzling innovation, has earned ruin as their legacy. The human wars of 2027 and the bloody battle for dominance over the earth's limited mineral resources caused annihilation more than a hundred years ago, leaving only a few small villages and wilderness on the scarred land. In their arrogance, the humans trespassed upon the ancient, sacred territories of the Lycans-creatures whispered about in bedtime stories, dismissed as myth, read out in trashy fiction novels until the blood and ash turned superstition into terror. For over a millennium, the Lycan empire has been shaped by the iron will of King Olsen, a monarch whose reign has cast a long, often bloody, shadow across the lands.
Legends whisper of his boundless power and cruelty, of an empire ruled not by compassion or unity but by dominance and fear. He is godlike and all-seeing. On his command, the Lycans no longer hid in the shadows. The Lycan king's warriors rose in wrath at this disrespect, hidden for centuries, claiming their birthright as the superior apex species with claws and silvery eyes. Humanity's last cities and towns were torn asunder and burnt to the ground in fires that ravaged the land for months, ash spewing into the skies. Those who survived became the conquered slaves of the Lycan Empire, to be used, bought, or sold as their new masters saw fit. Today, the Lycan realm stands on the verge of chaos, its once-proud bloodline threatened by internal discord and social decay. At the heart of this turmoil are Olsen's four sons, each vying for the throne in a bitter game of succession that promises only ruin or rule. Among them, Alex-the youngest at a mere century and a half-emerges not only as a military leader but as a figure of defiance, his hatred for his father matched only by his secret yearning for his Eresthai, the soul-bound mate he has never known. As a human, Adeline is supposed to serve at their pleasure, shackled by law and by fear, but she has other ideas to break the shadow of Lycan King's iron claw. The fate of the conquered is cruelly simple: women sold at eighteen into breeding houses or as servants; men, from fourteen, pressed into military service, to work in deadly factories; basically, their fate is to die for the king. Hope flickers only in secret, remembered by the old and dreamed of by the young and foolish-or the desperate. Amidst the broken remnants of a once-proud race, Adeline stands on the brink of her eighteenth year. Her fate is sealed, her hatred fierce, but destiny is not yet done with her. The moon goddess has other plans for her and the future King of the Lycans.
