Cantus Ignis. The Lunadae Saga, #5

CANTUS IGNIS: A Prequel to The Lunadae SagaThe world burns, waiting for the note that can cage its sorrow. High Priestess Selmara broke the cosmos to save a dying monarch, unwittingly unleashing the first inedia-an immortal driven by insatiable thirst. With the Goddess silent, the King razes cities and creates bloodthirsty progeny to build a twisted, eternal empire. Trapped in a court of monsters, Selmara plays the obedient saint.
As the King's "first son" corrupts sacred hymns, the faith she swore to protect becomes a weapon of subjugation. Beneath her pristine robes, the High Priestess is no longer praying for divine intervention; she is plotting rebellion. A faith corrupted. A heresy forged. A holy war begins. Realizing light alone cannot stop the apocalypse, she allies with disgraced queens, rebel immortals, and outcast magic.
To cage the darkness before it consumes the world, she must embrace the destructive half of creation-and commit an act that will shatter her soul forever. Some miracles are curses. Some saviors are monsters. One song broke the world, another must burn to save it. Cantus Ignis is the devastating continuation of the vampires' origins-a dark fantasy of cosmic tragedy, corrupted devotion, and the agonizing cost of survival.
