"you can be a 𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰 or a 𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓮𝓽 𝓼𝔀𝓮𝓮𝓹𝓮𝓻, but everyone dances with the 𝓰𝓻𝓲𝓶 𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓹𝓮𝓻."

hey! before i begin, i just gotta say i'm forever grateful for every person that read my first fanfiction and encouraged me to keep writing—i've grown so much because of Wattpad and KotLC, the two things that introduced by love for books.

although i haven't been involved with the kotlc fandom for quite a while, i came up with this fic idea at 2 am and thought "why the hell not." so welcome to... Reaper Of The Lost Cities!

𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐔𝐏𝐎𝐍 𝐀 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄, there were three keepers of the Lost Cities.

Benevolent Elysian, with every elemental ability known to elf. Versatile Aspho, who honed skills better than any elf. And ruthless Tar, with a strange, volatile ability that could shatter entire species—or be their salvation.

Cloistered in Caelenbliss manor, the beating heart of the Lost Cities, repressed power was the life they knew and harmony the value they pursued above all else. Their only chance at freedom? The Lost Cities' annual peace summit, where their godlike powers were showcased and paraded for the Council and fellow intelligent species alike.

But a horrible accident has struck, whittling down three keepers to two... and a prisoner lurks in the dungeons of Lumenaria, tongue full of sugar-drenched words and promises of revenge. Elysian can't help but drawn to her... but what glitters is not gold, perhaps even more so in their gleaming world.

considering i'm also doing another book, my updates won't exactly be constant, but i hope to get a chapter in every few weeks or so. almost all the main characters are OCs, but i believe you'll find many callbacks to the original characters as well :))

FINAL DISCLAIMER: not only does this fanfic include spoilers for the latest book, Stellarlune, but for my Project Stellarlune fanfic, as it involves some non-canon theories that are in that. if you don't intend to read that, or have already, read on.
