The Cursed Mother

Winter had taken much from Morrathal.

Year after year, the snowbound village buried its children before they could breathe. Then Lyric was born.

Small. Fierce. Alive.

To some, she is a blessing. To others, a sign that the old stories have not yet finished with the Dravonath. To Ishida and Kâllen, she is simply their daughter-a fragile light in a world that has known too much loss.

But hope has a way of drawing hungry eyes.

As distant powers begin to turn toward Morrathal, Ishida finds herself standing between the life she dreamed of for her child and the price demanded to secure it. What begins as a mother's determination to protect her family becomes a path lined with sacrifice, grief, and choices from which there is no return.

Some children are born to change the world.

Some mothers are forced to break it.

The Cursed Mother is a slow-burn fantasy of love, loss, and the promises that endure long after everything else has been burned away.
