The Withereds

A withering flower at devil's mercy

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please… let me go,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child. Why did you come back?” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck as they had so many times before. “I… don’t know,” she managed, her voice barely a whisper. Luciana Mircea de Amanécer, princess of the Holy Empire that ruled the skies, had once lived in a world of beauty and privilege—a devoted father, joyful sisters, wealth, and a loving fiancé. Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But the white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated. Could she learn to accept a man for whom compassion was an unfamiliar luxury, or would the love she had left behind rise to rescue her?

The awakening of the witches

In a medieval world gripped by war, Anya, a young elf from a small clan, discovers she carries one of the Seven Gems of Lumina. This gem, with the glow of a cat's eye, grants her mastery over the elements, making her a powerful sorceress. But Anya is not the only bearer. Each gem, scattered across the kingdom, grants a unique power: that of burning flame, that of freezing ice, that of hurricane wind, that of fertile earth, that of blinding light, and that of dark shadows. The search for the gems has sparked a war between the great clans. The Raven Clan, led by the ambitious Lord Kael, seeks to dominate the kingdom and forge a dark empire. Kael, in love with Anya, sees her as a tool to achieve his goals, but she resists his advances. As Anya delves deeper into this world of magic and betrayal, she discovers that each gem has a story and a legacy. The Burning Flame Gem, for example, was forged in the heart of a volcano and grants unimaginable destructive power. The Frigid Ice Gem, born in the depths of the sea, can freeze rivers and create impenetrable shields. As the clans clash in epic battles, Anya and her allies suffer devastating losses. Friends and family fall in combat, and the young elf is forced to make difficult decisions that will shape her fate. The conflict over the gems escalates, and the kingdom is divided into warring factions. In the midst of this war, Anya discovers an ancient oracle that reveals a terrible secret: if all seven gems are gathered in one place, they could unleash a catastrophe that would destroy the world. Anya must find a way to stop Kael and the other gem bearers before it is too late. But the path to peace will not be easy, for the fate of the kingdom and her own are intertwined with the power of the gems.
