The Queen of Wolves
“These ancient sorceries were rumors to me, for I did not understand the importance of the season, nor of the solstice night. Though I had been claimed Maz-Sherah by the Priest of Blood called Merod, I did not feel as if I were anything more than a tool in the hands of some larger force.
2 When Pythia and I left Aztlanteum, on a continent far from my homeland, the moon no longer reigned over the black of night.
We had fled another war in an obsidian city when the vampyre king Nezahual was besieg...ed by his brothers and sister in a battle for supremacy, for the blessing of their mother, Ixtar, and for the lands that had once been divided among them. Jealousy and envy divides all families, mortal and immortal, and the want of power—and the ignorance of its corruption—destroys many kingdoms.
The city of Ixtar burned and raged, and, below us, vampyres fought in the air, tearing at each other like wolves, while fires consumed the walls of their temples and palaces, while priests fought against invaders, and mortal men died for their gods.MoreLess
