Crowns of Nyaxia: Blood, Stars, and Shadow

At the center of this brutal world stands the goddess Nyaxia, the “Mother of Ravenous Dark,” who offers a singular, blood-soaked hope to the desperate: the Kejari. In a universe defined by the shadow of the White Pantheon, the greatest danger isn’t just the tournament—it’s the ancient secrets of the widowed Death God herself.

Nightborn Duet (Oraya & Raihn)

Oraya, the human adopted daughter of the Nightborn King, Vincent, must survive a world of fangs as she enters the Kejari, forming a lethal alliance with Raihn, a Rishan vampire. 

The Hiaj dominance and Rishan’s enslavement reveal a world where biology is the primary weapon. They are defined by a fracture that manifests in their very wings: 

Hiaj: Dominant political force, former King Vincent, whose milky white bat wings were tipped with the red.

Rishan: Raihn Ashraj bears the purple and black feathers of his marginalized lineage.

Shadowborn Duet (Mische & Asar)

The focus shifts to Mische Iliae, a former priestess of the sun god Atroxus turned vampire. Alongside Asar Voldari (an exiled Shadowborn prince) she descends into the Underworld. Their mission: to navigate the five sanctums and recover the relics of the god Alarus while Mische grapples with her fading faith and her proximity to the brother of the man who stole her mortality.

The Bloodborn Duet (Kyrene & Septimus)
 
Kyrene, a human bounty hunter, enters a deadly partnership with the notorious vampire Prince Septimus, who offers her a contract of cosmic proportions: the opportunity to slay the gods of the White Pantheon themselves.

The Novellas

Six Scorched Roses (Lilith & Vale)

A gothic standalone following Lilith, a scientist racing to cure the Vitarus plague. She strikes a bargain with the Nightborn General, Vale Arturo, trading roses for the vampire blood that could save her people.

Slaying the Vampire Conqueror (Sylina & Atrius)

Sylina, a former Arachessen acolyte, is sent to assassinate the Bloodborn commander, Atrius. Utilizing her unique vision, she discovers that her target carries a curse far more devastating than the drug lord Tarkan that she was meant to dismantle.

See more information about the five sanctums of the Underworld located in Morthryn (a Shadowborn territory) in our lore & theory posts below.

Human Territories

Including Glaea, a nation built on stone and sea currently besieged by vampire conquerors and drug warlords like Tarkan.
