Exile Night: Shared Heartbeat

Branded a failure, Elara is exiled; fiancé Lucian wants her dead. Three years later she returns, crashes Lucian's coronation, strips power. Sacred Moonfang links her and Ronan—any force rebounds on both. Running for the Council, she finds it shields Lucian. When Lucian seizes the scepter, Nessa refuses to kneel—authority collapses. Elara drains Lucian's power; Moonfang's backlash stops Ronan's heart. She channels life back, losing most of her power, bound to his shared pain.
