THE DEVIL'S NANNY

Abandoned at a grim orphanage during a raging storm, Aislinn Agilmund finds herself in a world where shadows whisper and survival is a constant battle. Little does she know, her arrival is no accident, and the forgotten name she carries holds the key to awakening a slumbering prince in a realm far below. As a mysterious locket glows and a cryptic stranger appears, Aislinn is thrust into a desperate quest that will unravel her hidden heritage and decide the fate of two entwined worlds. Time is running out, and the Blood Moon rises soon.

Rain hammered the iron roof of the orphanage, a relentless drumbeat against the night. Aislinn Agilmund stood beneath the flickering porch light, shoes soaked, hair plastered to her face.

The woman who had brought her was gone, a shadow swallowed by the storm. Inside, the Matron's voice cut through the damp air, sharp as a whip.

"Move, girl. You'll catch your death."

Aislinn hesitated, her gaze flitting to the windows where pale faces pressed against the glass, silent and watchful. The other children observed her, weighing her worth.

She stepped inside, shivering, clutching the frayed satchel that held her meager possessions. The heavy door slammed shut behind her, sealing her fate with a final, echoing thud.
