THE AMETHYST SKY: 12 Years of Silence, 1 Night of Betrayal "I spent twelve years in hell to build her a palace. I returned to find she had turned my sacrifice into another man’s throne." Andrei was a ghost. To the world, he was just another migrant worker in a cold, grey city. To himself, he was a bridge—a bridge of gold connecting his grueling labor to the dream of a home for his wife, Cristina, and his daughter, Medeea. He skipped meals. He slept on iron beds. He wore the same rags for a decade, sending every hard-earned cent back home. He was building a "Palace." He was fulfilling his "Sacred Duty." But the gate he finally reached wasn't his to open. When the heavy oak doors of the mansion he paid for swung wide, it wasn't his daughter’s laughter that greeted him. It was the smirk of a stranger. “You must be the neighbor,” the man said. “Your lot is next door.” Andrei turned to look. Where his house should have been, there was only a barren wasteland of thistles and mud. His money hadn't built a home for his child—it had funded his wife’s secret life with a lover. Left with nothing but the clothes on his back and a shattered heart, Andrei is about to learn that some debts are paid in blood, and some fortunes are found in the ashes. In the darkest hour of his soul, a forgotten light flickers. Natalia—the woman with the "amethyst aura" he once turned away from—is still there. And Medeea, the daughter he thought he lost, holds the key to a world no lie can ever destroy. Witness the rise, the fall, and the ultimate redemption. This is not just a story of betrayal. It is the awakening of a soul.

The hamlet spiraled into panic - questions,sirens,fear. But Kiara felt none of it. The air carried their scent.She knew exactly who had taken her little Mat. And she knew what it would cost to get him back. Returning meant facing Caspian Silverheart—her Alpha mate, the one man she never learned how to hate.

And the laws governing blood, lineage, and power now circled dangerously close to Mat as well. Because Mat was not just her little boy. He was a convergence…of bloodlines, of broken oaths, of a future the pack was never meant to unlock. Now that she had returned, the lies holding their worlds together were beginning to fracture.
