She has watched women suffer, their lives treated as mere exchange in the endless struggle for dominance among packs including her useless father.

Defying the law which had been before her grandfather was born means declaring war—not just against her father’s pack, where she should have been the rightful heir, but against the entire Thalvion realm.

But Evelynne is ready to show them just how dangerous she can be as a woman whom they had thought was only for breeding children and the satisfaction of pleasure for them. Can anyone stop her quest for the throne?

"The Moon’s Cursed Healer" Born beneath an omen-lit sky, **Layla** is no ordinary wolf. She is the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy—a child blessed by the **Moon Goddess** with the power to heal, resurrect, and stand undefeated. But such power comes at a cost. Her birth shakes the foundations of the **White Shen Pack**, a territory ruled by treachery. Her father, **Alpha Rhys**, and his lover, **Luna Catherine**, fear what she might become.

Thought dead at birth, Layla is hidden away, cast into a life of cruelty and deception. Years later, she is nothing more than a shadow in her own pack—a girl ridiculed for her inability to shift, despised by the very people who should have protected her. The only light in her world is **Kain**, the Beta’s son, her first love and the boy who once saved her from years of torment. But love, too, becomes a weapon when Kain betrays her in the worst way—**murdering her siblings and delivering her to her enemies**. As punishment for crimes she did not commit, Layla is thrown into darkness, her fate sealed when she is **offered as a gift** to the most feared rogue in existence—the cursed **Beast King**. For two thousand years, the Beast King has sought a way to break the Moon Goddess’s wrath, his soul trapped in a monstrous body, his humanity slipping away. When Layla is thrown before him, he senses something he has never encountered before: **a power strong enough to shatter his curse… or doom them both.** But Layla is not a girl to be broken. She has her own vengeance to claim, her own past to uncover, and the Beast King may just be the key to it all. Bound by fate and **cursed by the past**, Layla and the Beast King must navigate a world that seeks to control them, betrayals that run deeper than blood, and a prophecy that threatens to consume them both. **Will she rise as the weapon they tried to forge, or will she become the force that shatters their world?

NOT ANOTHER SYSTEM NOVEL?! 2 chapters posted 7 days weekly. 10+ arcs planned. Sure, Zander has a system, but he only uses it when it’s convenient. He has bigger and better things to deal with, like “phoenixes mate for life,” and “I was “born to save the world.” Despite growing up with really only one friend, he’s top of his class, despite being 6’4 and chiseled.

Cover art features Zander and Sophie, the main characters, as well as a dragon… well you’ll get to know him in arc 2. Talking animals, talking beasts and what’s up with that Chrono Trigger esque spikey golden hair? Arc l is pretty lovey dovey but arc ll is where the action really heats up. Could it be possible they use their phoenixes outside of their bodies? Perhaps they can use them like auras, like chakra in lots of anime? Who knows?! Spoiler alert: I do, and you will too, if you read this book! Regular Synopsis: The prologue: In order to set the stage for the story, I felt the prologue was necessary. I hope you enjoy the backstory and context of why Arc 1 starts off with the main character, “Finding a Mate.” This is not a typical system novel, although the main character's system plays a vital role, it’s not something I leaned heavily into. Hope you enjoy it! Arc 1: “Finding a Mate” Synopsis: Over 260 years passed since Theo’s great betrayal, and Zander Elrod is growing up as a normal teenager to a very well known and wealthy family. His parents' generosity and dedication to helping others drives him to be the best, and he and his best friend Cyrus couldn’t be closer.
