The Beast Within – Yulong (Volume 2)
The choice has been made—the Noctusborn has awakened.
But the price only becomes visible now. Elandor, the former King of Kaelon, now walks as a creature of darkness through the nights of Melandor. He hides in the bodies of the living, tears families apart from within, makes entire villages vanish.
In Yulong, no one suspects the danger—until a blood-drenched rider arrives with a warning, and no one listens. Until Liyen, the archer, sits in a cell with a truth no one believes. Until Yaoming stays behind, so that others might flee.
Every choice is a sacrifice. Every rescue has its price.
The clock is ticking. And this time, time itself becomes the enemy.
(Volume 2 of "The Beast Within" series—a direct sequel to "The Awakening of the Noctusborn")
