Prologue: The Prophecy

The Prophecy

In the heart of a forgotten crypt deep beneath the ancient, ruined Cathedral of Galiath, Naeva Thorne, leader of the Blood Eclipse Covenant, stands in the center of an eerie, smoke-filled chamber. The vaulted ceilings are draped with ancient, cobweb-laden tapestries depicting battles between vampires and humans. In the center of the chamber, an altar carved from black stone radiates a cold, unnatural glow, as if it has been waiting for centuries.

The Covenant, a powerful and secretive group of vampire elders, are gathered around Naeva, chanting ancient verses in a tongue older than time itself. Their voices blend together, rising in a haunting harmony, invoking a prophecy foretold by the oldest vampire seers. A total eclipse looms on the horizon, signaling the birth of a new ruler who will either unite the vampire and human worlds—or destroy them both.

Naeva's icy gaze scans the circle of elders as she begins to speak, her voice carrying a sense of both doom and inevitable fate. "The Eclipse Queen will emerge from the blood of both races—half vampire, half human. Her blood will determine the course of history. We must be ready. The world will change, and those who fail to accept their fate will burn."

As the ritual intensifies, Naeva places her hand over the altar, where a strange, pulsating bloodstone is embedded. The stone begins to glow, sending out ripples of energy that connect the Covenant to the prophecy. The eclipse is coming, but the Eclipse Queen is still hidden. Naeva feels a cold chill run down her spine—her vision shows a young woman standing at the center of the conflict, holding both light and darkness in her veins. The queen is closer than they know.
