Brand of the Golden Cage

[Dark fantasy + comeback + destruction + revenge + bloodline awakening + seals + identity reversal + suspense. The unanswered mysteries will gradually reveal their true forms as the story unfolds.] She was covered in wounds, unaware that the mark on her back concealed the secret of a fallen royal family. By day, she was a tamed plaything; by night, an unwakened queen. Evidence of the castle’s crimes, a bloodstained letter from the dungeon, a copper key belonging to a missing slave girl, a black ledger, an awakened throne, an estate left in a power vacuum: blood and lies blossomed together. “No. You’re the one raising your own gravedigger.” The wolf bloodline awakened, and the same mark appeared on the back of the unborn child’s hand. When three sets of bite marks resonated beneath the blood moon, the ancient prophecy would finally come true: “The throne chooses its master and devours them. Only prisoner and king shall perish together.” The seal was broken, and the golden cage burned in the flames of war. On coronation day, the new queen fastened shackles on her former master. “Now it’s my turn to keep you prisoner.” The baby clenched a bloodstained finger. This cycle of hatred and desire would never end.
