The Night Sheriff of Terrebonne Parish
Power always demands a shape. This story asks what happens when someone refuses to give it one.
In New Orleans, an immortal known as the Moonborn has spent centuries holding violence in check through restraint rather than rule. Marais Delune is not a queen, not a god, and not a savior-though the city has treated her as all three. She believes balance should be chosen, not enforced.
When an ancient force older than vampires begins feeding on systems of harm, hierarchy, and collapse, her refusal to dominate becomes a liability. The city itself turns hostile, accidents become weapons, and survival depends not on strength, but on consent.
At the center of it all is Renaud-human, fragile, and unprotected. As pressure tightens around him, Marais is forced to confront a truth she has avoided for centuries: restraint alone cannot stop a system designed to feed on inevitability.
What follows is not a war for control, but a dismantling of control itself. Power fractures. Systems fail. The city learns to survive without crowns.
Set in the humid streets and quiet endurance of New Orleans, this is a gothic fantasy about power without dominion, love without ownership, and the cost of letting the world remain unfinished.
This is not a story about saving the city.
It is a story about refusing to own it.
