Trials of the Stars

Three stories. Three Vampire brothers. Three separate trials from the gods. ••• Calix McArthur is Crown Prince. His coronation is in just a few months away, but there’s still a war going on. A war that started between humans, elves, vampires, and werewolves. But, the humans quickly gave up and surrendered. The elves were sneaky and still holding on - though not for much longer if the Crown Prince’s plan succeeded. And the werewolves were still going strong— isolated from the world, fighting when necessary, and decimating the troops that came to them. Acherona is an Elf Princess. Placed in hiding, she’s the only heir and last line of defense. But Crown Prince Calix captures her after his plan has been successfully executed and immediately takes a liking. A stubborn elf with an iron-will, and a powerful vampire who’s never once in his life taken ‘no’ as an answer. Sounds like a pair. ••• Jaklyn, a human princess, and Kaisar, a vampire prince, are best friends. Or, they were. Before the war. Then, when Jaklyn and Kaisar were 10 years old, Jaklyn was whisked away. For 13 years, Jaklyn was alone. Lied to about the outcome of the war, her parents promised her to another human lord. But this is Jaklyn we’re talking about. On her WEDDING DAY, she escapes the clutches of her parents and runs. Barefoot, and with only a sword and a horse, she runs into a familiar stranger on the road. Kaisar has found his betrothed, but does she know that? ••• Kenai is the youngest prince of the McArthur line. Ophelia Liulfr is the Werewolf Princess. Respected and feared, she is a demoness in battle. Kenai was awaiting the day he’d face the heir of his kind’s forever opponent. But then his older brother, the King, made plans with the Werewolf Queen to wed Ophelia and Kenai. Ordered to make peace, Kenai can only cooperate. But that certainly didn’t mean Ophelia would. Hot tempered and stubborn as hell, she wasn’t going down without a fight. If she was going, the stupid prince was coming with her. There was no way in any of the realms she’d ever breed with blood-sucking scum. Or so she thought.

The Beginning

Since the beginning, there were always others. And, for the most part, they got along.

Until, one human, one vampire, one werewolf, and one elf all fought to be the Royals.

Splitting up their people, they made their own kingdoms.

Eventually, having their own kingdoms led to war.

War over territory.

And then, the gods came down. They told everyone that if the fighting didn't stop, they'd wipe everything off the planet.

The people made peace…

For 500 years, no one dared break the peace set by their ancestors.

Then, of course, someone broke it.

No one knows how it started, but the war between humans, elves, vampires, and werewolves started.

It was called the 'Species War'.

The Humans gave up within the first 5 years. The Werewolves isolated themselves from the world.

The humans quickly signed a treaty and alliance, knowing they wouldn't survive.

The Elves population slowly started to deteriorate until suddenly…

The Vampires stopped attacking. They called truce and left.

The Elves waited a week before bringing their princess back.

Their princess who had been in hiding.

As the sole heir, no harm could come to Acherona.

When she came back, the elves held a celebration.

As per Prince Calix's predictions. The Crown Prince of the Vampires who was, by far, the most strategic being the world had seen. And he was trying very hard to make sure his people would outlast the others and be able to live in peace. Who needed other species? Vampires were obviously the best!

That is, he believe all of that until he met Acherona. The woman— the Elf— in the prophecy.

And that is Trial One.

As Calix and Acherona started their story, Kaisar McArthur, the second prince, was trying to start his.

Looking for the human he was best friends with as children (and betrothed to), Kaisar stumbles across a runaway bride and instantly recognizes her.

Though, Jaklyn doesn't.

Kaisar must be ready to fight for his love and stand firm. He must be ready to make hard decisions and face the consequences of his actions.

That is Trial Two.

And as for the last McArthur brother…

Kenai was fighting against the werewolves when he was called by his Lieutenant.

Kenai was being summoned by his brother Calix - now the king.

Kenai took one last glance at the battlefield.

Looking…

Searching…

Then he spotted her.

Ophelia Liulfr.

The werewolf princess.

She was demolishing his forces as he was demolishing hers.

They were supposed to battle.

This was going to be it.

The winner of the war.

Would Ophelia kill him, or would he kill her?

But fate had other plans…

Plans to have him married against his arch-nemesis…

Which would be Trial Three.
