Beastbound Chronicles: Primal Whispers

In a dying world of sterile technology, archaeologist Elara Vance triggers an ancient artifact and is flung into Aethelgar—a savage, beautiful world where Beastkin clans shift between human and animal forms, and primal essence flows like music. She arrives as a fragile anomaly, a human with a "Soul-Spark" that emits a scent like distilled power, intoxicating and maddening to every Alpha in Verdantia. Claimed as a prize by Kaelen, the arrogant and possessive Black Tiger Alpha, Elara is thrust into a deadly game of tribal politics, ancient prophecies, and a creeping corruption called the Blight. Hunted as a treasure, a tool, and a threat, she must forge unlikely alliances with fierce rivals: Boran, the brutally honest Stone-Hoof chieftain; Silas, the chillingly analytical serpent healer; and Zephyr, the blind seer who believes she is the fabled "World-Singer." But the prophecy is a lie. Elara isn't a savior—she's a spare key, a genetic failsafe created by her own ancestors whose crashed ship started the Blight millennia ago. To heal this world, she must learn to "sing" with a power that could either mend the planet or shatter it forever. With a growing reverse harem of protective, conflicting Alphas at her side and fanatical Nullifiers seeking her extinction, Elara's journey is not about finding a way home. It's about deciding what home truly is, and how much she's willing to sacrifice to save it.
