The Knight Keep

No one escapes unscathed. Demetrius Sylverleaf has spent his life surviving the aftermath of a childhood that should have killed him. What remains is something brittle, controlled — and one fracture away from breaking completely. When a buried truth begins to surface, he's forced into choices that do not offer redemption… only consequence.

Across Aetheria, a curse binds bloodlines to a dying king, tightening its hold as those sworn to protect the realm begin to unravel beneath it. Loyalties shift. Faith falters. And the line between duty and self-preservation begins to rot.

At the center of it all is Celestia LeFey; a presence that refuses to remain buried, a woman whose powers are more unruly than understood. As prophecy stirs and old magic awakens, what binds their fates together will not save them. It will expose them.

The Knight Keep has no heroes.

This is a story of inheritance as a curse, of love that does not redeem, and of people who will become the very thing they fear in order to survive. But what happens when survival may be the curse itself?
