When light and shadow unite, men become gods—and gods fall in love.

The war is over, but peace is a harder kingdom.

The city of Aurelion rises from the ashes of its gods, ruled not by crowns but by consent. Every breath is counted. Every law begins with a question: "Do you agree?"

In the heart of this fragile order stand three men bound by the oath that remade the world—Aurel, the prince who refused to rule; Taren, the warrior forged in shadow; and Saelis, the scholar whose fire burned heaven itself.
Together, they built a covenant between Light and Dark, between Work and Worship, between Law and Love.

But balance is not peace.

The faith of Sola Verra stirs again, whispering that unity is weakness and that only the One should reign. From the ruins of devotion rises a new god—the Arcanum, born not of sky or scripture but of their own hearts, of everything they sacrificed to free mankind.

To save what they built, they must unmake what they love most.
And when the divine learns desire, mercy becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.

As Aurel struggles to hold a city that no longer believes in limits, Saelis seeks to bind flame to breath, and Taren learns that loyalty can wound as deeply as love. Between them stands a bench, not a throne; a promise, not a crown. But even the truest promise can split—when gods begin to remember being human.

The Throne of Shadows and Light is a tale of aftermath and ascension, where intimacy is rebellion, law is a kind of faith, and the heart learns that creation always demands a price.

Love is the presence of the other inside us.
Consent. Cost. Work.
Breathe.
