In a world ruled by ambition and cloaked in glass towers, power isn’t always defined by thrones or swords—it’s measured in boardrooms, mergers, and the weight of empires built on fragile egos. Hannah Beaumont and Phillips Grayson were titans in their own right—two brilliant minds, two relentless souls, each determined to outshine the other. They built kingdoms from numbers and strategy, bending the world’s will with nothing more than their signatures. But there was one thing they never planned for: Marianna. Born not out of love, but a moment where vulnerability cracked through ambition, Marianna was supposed to be an afterthought in their empires of control. Instead, she became their universe. Both parents doted on her as if she were the rarest treasure, even while their egos waged silent wars around her. But Marianna was never ordinary. Behind her curious eyes shimmered a light no human should possess. Whispers followed her steps—some called her gifted, others, touched by something divine. What no one knew—not even Hannah or Phillips—was that Marianna wasn’t just brilliant, kind, or unnervingly wise beyond her years. She was something far more powerful: an angel in disguise. This isn’t a story about wealth or corporate conquests. It’s about the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary. A child born of chaos and rivalry, destined to bring balance between worlds both seen and unseen. It’s about the battles she’ll fight—not with swords or strategy, but with compassion, light, and a power no human rivalry can understand. As you turn these pages, you’ll follow Marianna’s journey from boardrooms to celestial realms, where the choices she makes could either save or shatter everything her parents worked for—and everything humanity believes about the divine. Some stories begin with heroes. This one begins with a miracle. Are you ready to witness the rise of The Child of Light?
