When the King Bows

A blood-red moon rises over the jagged mountains. Below, the kingdom of Velstrath stretches like a dark jewel—an empire of wolves, ruled not in shadows but openly, proudly. Humans live under the iron banner of the Lycans, taxed, watched, and always reminded that they are prey. The camera sweeps through the capital: massive obsidian spires carved with claw marks, iron wolf banners snapping in the night wind. At the heart of it all sits King Kael Dravenhart, the Lycan King—a towering figure with sharp features, silver eyes that glow like molten steel, and a dangerous kind of elegance. Every word he speaks drips with dominance. Every step reminds humans why they bow. --- Enter Serenya Vale, a poor blacksmith’s daughter. Sharp-tongued. Quick-witted. Sarcastic to the bone. She’s been forced to grow up in the cracks of Velstrath, where humans scrape by and wolves take what they want. She’s fiery, clever, and refuses to play meek—she talks back to soldiers, steals food if she has to, and once punched a noble in the face for trying to grope her. Her world shifts the night she accidentally stumbles into the Hunt, a sacred Lycan ritual where captured humans are released into the forest, given a head start, then hunted by wolves. But instead of running and begging, Serenya laughs at the beasts and fights. She actually injures one of Kael’s most loyal generals—a feat no human has ever done.
