The world remembers only what the Sovereign allows… yet every century, a child slips through the cracks of fate. This is her chronicle.
Release Countdown
Illeana Valentine survived a night she was never meant to remember. The world insists she hallucinated the monstrous wolves that tore her mother apart and the red-eyed man who slaughtered them to save her.
A decade later, that same man appears on the news with a new name, and influence spanning continents.
As the next full moon approaches, the longest of the year, Illeana’s nightmares sharpen into prophecy. Something old is waking in the shadows of Arcana. Something tied to the wolves who hunt the night… and the being who watches her from afar.
To uncover the truth, Illeana must venture beyond curfews, beyond fear, and into the hierarchy of creatures who rule the night.
Sovereign Arcana is a gothic modern-fantasy saga set in a world where the Church of Light controls the narrative, monsters walk in human shadow, and full moons trigger mass lockdowns known as curfews. The public blames “Moonlight Sickness” but Illeana Valentine knows better.
After witnessing supernatural horrors as a child, she is branded unstable. Ten years later, the man from that night resurfaces under a new identity.
Illeana becomes the singular girl who can see monsters for what they are… and the one the monsters can’t seem to ignore.
