Every hundred years, a mortal girl is chosen by the Moon Temple to serve as the Bride of the Night King—a terrifying ancient being who rules the shadowed realm beyond the mortal veil. None have ever returned.

But this time, the bride chosen is not who she seems.

She has no intention of being sacrificed. No intention of dying quietly. And he—the immortal king forged from starlight and sorrow—has no intention of keeping another heartbroken doll in his cage.

But fate has other plans. Because the moon is bleeding, the stars are falling, and something ancient has awakened beneath the earth… something that knows both their names.

World: A hauntingly beautiful world where celestial magic, divine curses, and ancient beings shape life and death. The people of the world worship two twin celestial deities:

• Solvara – the Sun Goddess, patron of truth, life, war.

• Lunareth – the Moon God, patron of dreams, death, prophecy.

Once balanced, the gods grew distant after the Fall of the Celestials, and their realms slowly drifted into decay. The mortal world still honors their worship, but in fear—not love.

It's name you wonder? Narethial.

Realms of Narethial:

Thaloria; Mortal lands bathed in Gold and Marble. Ruled by priest-Kings and Queens who worship the Sun Godess.

Magic is sacred, tightly controlled. Every century a Human Girl is selected for marriage as Bride of the Moon.

Umbrythar:

The dark moonlit realm of the Night King.

Floating temples, star scattered forrests & creatures born of shadow and memory.

Ruled by the Eclipse court, immortal beings are tied to their King.

The Hallow below;

A sealed buried realm of banished gods and primal horrors. Some say a Great sleeper stirs beneath the land- waiting for the sun and moon to fall.
