SUBTERFUGE: Throne of Shadows
In a world where werewolves are bound by ancient laws and a merciless Council enforces balance, Evelyne Draven, the last living Luna Duchess, inherits a legacy of sacrifice and suffering. Every Luna before her was offered up to preserve the supernatural order; an endless cycle of blood and betrayal. But Evelyne refuses to be the next victim. When Evelyne shatters the chains of the Covenant Cycle, she doesn't just rebel against tradition, she awakens something far more dangerous: the Abyss, an ancient, sentient darkness bound beneath the surface of their world. The Council, terrified of what she's becoming, declares war, determined to destroy her before the abyss consumes everything. As war erupts, Evelyne's allies; a loyal warrior named Kieran, the cunning rogue Noctis, and the fierce enforcer Malik, fight to protect her from the Council's wrath. But the true threat comes from within, as the abyss whispers promises of power and freedom in exchange for total surrender. The sudden arrival of Azalea, a feared rogue assassin with her own vendetta against the Council, brings devastating revelations: the Lunas were never sacrifices-they were keys designed to keep the abyss locked away. Now, with the Covenant broken, the prison holding the darkness is weakening. Faced with an impossible choice, Evelyne must decide: kill Lysara, the last Elder capable of sealing the abyss, and risk losing her humanity, or submit to the Council's bindings and remain a pawn in their eternal cycle. With each battle, Evelyne teeters closer to the edge, her powers growing, her will weakening. The war is no longer just for survival...it's for the fate of the supernatural world itself. And in the shadows, the abyss waits-patient, hungry, and ready to claim its rightful queen.
