Crown of the Blood moon
Ongoing · Oyiza Ismail
For centuries, the Kingdom of Virellion has survived under one law: the Blood Moon chooses the ruler.
Every seventh rise of the Blood Moon, the ancient Crown awakens—testing royal bloodlines, devouring the unworthy, and binding the chosen ruler to the fate of the realm. This time, the Crown does something it has never done before.
It rejects every royal heir.
Instead, it answers to a nameless girl of no lineage, a quiet servant raised in the shadows of the palace, whose blood awakens the Crown with a hunger no one can control.
Marked by prophecy and forced into the center of a power she never sought, she becomes bound to the kingdom’s cursed king—a ruler feared for his brutality and sealed by a Blood Moon curse that steals fragments of his soul with every lunar rise. To survive, he must accept a queen chosen by prophecy. To protect the realm, she must wear a crown that demands sacrifice.
Their bond is not born of love, but of necessity—an ancient oath forged in blood and shadow. As enemies close in and forbidden magic stirs, the girl begins to uncover the truth behind her bloodline and the lie that has governed throne generations.
With each rising Blood Moon, the Crown grows more demanding. The kingdom demands obedience. The king sworn never to love begins to want the one woman the prophecy warns him will be his undoing.
If she refuses the Crown, the kingdom will fall into chaos.
If she accepts it, she may lose her humanity or her heart.
As rebellion and final Blood Moon approaches, she must choose between destiny and desire, between saving the realm and destroying the man bound to her fate.
Because the Blood Moon does not choose queens to rule.
It chooses them to bleed.
