Jianghu was in turmoil, an era of great strife. The leader of Great Qin wielded the Mo Blade, leaving the world battered and bruised. The ageless figures of Jianghu crouched upon the mountains, and with a single turn, they cast the entire world below them. Strong men measured the earth with their feet, and heroes of Jianghu could cleave the heavens with one sword, yet in the blink of an eye, they were drunk in the embrace of beauties. The Taoist carried his sword, the Scholar drunk on wine. Wearing tattered clothes, a beggar grasped a rotten branch and dared to storm the ancestral hall of the Taoist Sect. On the willow-lined causeway, in the long pavilion, a man who had sat withered for thirty years turned and stepped out, holding a peach blossom, with a flick of his wrist, he shattered ten miles of red candles. The era of Great Qin was renamed the Great Yuan Era. The youth with the Wooden Sword left his mountain village behind. (Solo female lead)

"A she—wolf destined to either save or destroy the world." That was what they described her with.... WHY? Well... let's find out In a world ruled by werewolves, an ancient calamity known as the Blood Eclipse unleashed chaos, birthing the —Forsaken— *cursed wolves twisted by darkness and rage.* These rogue beasts spread destruction, threatening to consume the fragile balance that holds the packs together. Elara, a young outcast marked by a mysterious crescent-shaped scar, has always been feared by her pack. Whispers of an ancient prophecy bind her to the Moon Goddess herself. A wolf destined to either save or destroy the world. Her lunar powers, if mishandled, could either be a blessing to the world or its ultimate destruction. But Elara has never believed in the prophecy, that the pack has always feared her for. Everything changes when the Forsaken attack her pack, targeting her for reasons she doesn't fully understand. Kael, the ruthless Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, arrives amidst the chaos, offering her protection—but with a catch. He claims she is his fated mate, and as the Alpha, he demands that she become his Luna. To Elara, this bond is far from a blessing. Prior to her resistance, he offers her pack and her family protection from the forsaken, if she agrees to become his luna. Faced with the imminent danger of the Forsaken and her pack’s survival hanging in the balance, Elara reluctantly agrees to Kael's offer. Forced into a life with a powerful and ruthless leader she barely knows, she resents being treated as nothing more than a tool to fulfill a prophecy she doesn’t believe in. As the apocalypse looms and the Forsaken grow stronger, Elara must embrace her power alongside Kael But the greatest battle lies within her—will she be the savior the Moon Goddess promised or the catalyst for the world’s destruction? * "I'm hungry," he said with a playful grin, standing before her, bare-chested, his muscles flexing under the dim light. Elara raised an eyebrow, trying to hold her ground. "So what?" Kael's grin deepened, the heat in his gaze never leaving her. "It's your duty as my Luna to satisfy my needs... in bed," he purred, his voice smooth and commanding. Elara narrowed her eyes, tiredness flickering through her as she crossed her arms. "Your sexual urge is never satisfied, is it? Are you ever tired? I can barely walk because of you." Kael stepped closer, the air suddenly becoming hot. He reached out, and scopped her, causing her to instinctively wrap her legs around his firm waist. "I'll go easy this time," he murmured, his lips brushing the edge of her ear. "You can be on top... and ride me this time, if you want." His voice was low, magnetic, almost like a promise she couldn’t resist. Her breath caught, the words making her pulse quicken. She tried to gather her wits, and shouted "You're a damn devil." Note: Apocalypse is not the central plot of this story; it serves more as a subplot. The main focus is on werewolves, dark fantasy romance, and magical realism, with the apocalyptic elements blending into the narrative. There's smut/ mature scenes sprinkled throughout this novel so if you're up for it grab your popcorn and let's go!!

Some time later, the divine world was plunged into complete chaos between the different divinities, affecting the mortal world. In the midst of this war, different divinities interacted with each other and with humans, which gave rise to the emergence of gods and demigods.

For centuries, the noble House Concordia, humanity’s torchbearers, guided the world through its darkest days. Their sacrifices drove back the malevolent force known only as the darkness, banishing it from the material world in the cataclysmic Battle of Scarlet Rivers. But victory came at an immense cost: the death of their revered leader, the Sword Saint, and the fracturing of humanity’s unity. In the centuries that followed, greed and hubris consumed the fractured factions of mankind, leaving the Concordia family shunned and their warnings ignored. Now, in the year 677, the darkness stirs once more, its hunger for chaos and despair reignited by humanity's corruption. As cracks tear through reality, unleashing hordes of demons upon the great city of Emberfall, the darkness manifests in a terrible, humanoid form—arrogant, cruel, and unstoppable. The nobles of the Kaizen Empire, consumed by their own self-interest, panic in the face of their reckoning, while the common people fall victim to unthinkable horrors. At the center of this unfolding apocalypse stands Eryndor of Concordia, the young head of his house. Dismissed as naïve for clinging to ancient prophecies, he has spent years pleading with humanity to unite against the darkness. Now, with the return of his family’s ancient enemy, Eryndor must rise to his legacy and rally what remains of humanity before it’s too late. But to fulfill his family’s oath, Eryndor must face impossible odds, forge alliances with those who once betrayed his house, and confront the truth of what it means to sacrifice for the light. As the forces of darkness spread across the land, "The Light Will Never Fade" is a story of shattered hope, enduring legacies, and the power of selflessness in the face of despair. Will Eryndor and those who stand with him rekindle humanity’s flame, or will the darkness extinguish the light forever?
