A Queen Among Blood
In a world teeming with supernatural beings, Yildiz, a blind irshiust with liquid gold eyes, navigates a realm where truth and deception intertwine. Gifted with the ability to perceive auras and detect lies, her life takes an unforeseen turn when an enigmatic, galaxy-flavored scent invades her senses, signaling the arrival of her fated animai. But this soulmate bond comes with a twist: her animai is a sanguidae, the progenitor of a species whose origins are shrouded in mystery. As a new mission to quell rogue sanguidae attacks unfolds, Yildiz must confront not only the dangers of her world but also the heartbreaking reality of a bond that her animai seems determined to sever. Can she unravel the secrets of their intertwined destinies and overcome a rejection that threatens to shatter her very being?The endless darkness of Yildiz’s room had become a familiar companion, yet tonight, it felt incredibly intrusive. For weeks, ever since that scent, that unforgettable, life-altering scent, sleep had eluded her.
It was a shockwave through her very being, a sensation unlike anything she had ever known, like the galaxy exploding on her tongue. The remnants echoed in her mind, consuming her thoughts, driving her to a madness she hadn’t believed possible.
She tapped the clock beside her bed. “The time is, 3:43 am,” the electronic voice stated. Yildiz groaned, flopping back against the pillows, staring into the nothingness that surrounded her. Being blind meant light never disturbed her rest, but being alone with her thoughts in the dead of night was a torment.
Why, of all her sisters, had her mother made her blind? And why, after thousands of years, had she, Yildiz, been the one to find an animai? A soulmate, a dangerous distraction in their line of work as irshiusts. Yildiz believed in her mother's divine wisdom, yet she couldn't shake the question: what was she supposed to do in the meantime? Go crazy?
