Felicia Grey's - 

is not the kind of girl you forget.

With storm-grey eyes that seem to see through lies and illusions, and a presence that draws danger like a moth to flame, Felicia walks the line between shadow and light. Her dark hair tumbles in waves down her back, often unbound, wild like her spirit. She carries herself with a quiet confidence — the kind born from survival, not privilege.

A girl once ordinary, now marked by the extraordinary, Felicia is more than she appears. Beneath her cool exterior lies a burning curiosity and a fierce will. She doesn't run from the truth, even when it terrifies her. She chases it. And when that truth turns out to be something ancient, something cursed — she doesn't break. She adapts.

There's an edge to her — sharp enough to wound, soft enough to feel. She's clever, resourceful, and stubborn to a fault. But it's her heart — bruised but beating strong — that makes her dangerous. She loves fiercely. Protects even more fiercely. And when she discovers the power in her blood — old, feared, and hunted — she doesn't shy away from it.

Felicia Grey is the kind of heroine who does not wait to be saved. She unearths secrets, makes hard choices, and dares to love someone who could destroy her.

And in the end, it might be Felicia — with her strange blood and unbreakable will — who reshapes the fate of kingdoms.

Caden Swift -

Caden Smith is a storm wrapped in silence — beautiful, deadly, and born of shadow.

As the heir of Nosgoth, a kingdom whispered about in fear and reverence, Caden is not just royalty. He is a legacy. A weapon forged by generations of blood-bound rulers who believe power is meant to be controlled — even if it means crushing what they fear. And what they fear most… is what Felicia Grey carries in her blood.

From the moment he meets her, Caden knows what she is. And worse — he knows what she means to him.

Marked by fate as Felicia's mate, Caden is caught between destiny and duty. To be her mate is to be bound — body, soul, and magic — but to be the heir of Nosgoth is to obey the will of a throne that would see her destroyed. His heart wars with his heritage. And the battlefield is her.

Caden is ice to Felicia's fire: calm where she burns, composed where she flares. But beneath that cold exterior simmers something fierce — a man who feels too deeply, who would raze entire empires for the girl fate handed him... even if he's terrified of what she's becoming.

He doesn't trust easily. He was raised with knives hidden in silk and loyalty bought with fear. But Felicia — stubborn, bright, and raw — unravels him. She makes him question everything: his past, his crown, his place in a war that was brewing before either of them were born.

And yet… Caden knows. The power inside her calls to something in him. Something ancient. Something older than kings and curses. Something that has been waiting.

Because Caden Smith wasn't born just to rule.

He was born to stand at the side of the storm that would change the world.

 Lira - moves like a shadow — quiet, elusive, and always watching. Her presence is subtle but impossible to ignore once she chooses to reveal herself. She is the thread that ties the past to the present, a living archive of Nosgoth's darkest truths and forgotten magic.

No one knows exactly where Lira came from. Some whisper she's older than the kingdom itself, a guardian of secrets too dangerous for the light. Others say she's the last of a hidden bloodline, one whose power rivals even Felicia's. Whatever the truth, one thing is certain: Lira holds knowledge that could either save or doom them all.

With eyes like liquid obsidian, she reads people as easily as an open book — though she rarely reveals what she's learned. Her voice is calm and measured, but every word carries weight, every silence screams warning.

Lira's loyalty is a mystery. Sometimes she aids Felicia with cryptic advice or riddles, other times she disappears when the danger gets too close, leaving Felicia to fend for herself. She understands the old blood better than anyone and knows the price it demands.

Behind her composed exterior, there's a pain that no one else sees — a past filled with betrayal and loss that shaped her into a keeper of harsh truths. Lira is a paradox: protector and threat, ally and enigma.

In the tangled web of destiny and desire, Lira is the wild card — the key to unlocking Felicia's power, if only she dares to trust her.
