That night, Kael searched the royal archives.
Ancient records spoke of only one bloodline capable of the magic he saw.
The Moonborn.
Sorcerers connected to celestial energy.
Thought extinct after the War of Falling Stars.
Except…
There had been rumors.
A lost princess.
A child hidden before the royal family was slaughtered.
Kael's chest tightened.
If Lyra was that child…
Then the king would not just execute her.
He would torture her to unlock her power.
