Betrayed. Condemned. Reborn in darkness. Kael Veyne was once a knight of the Holy Dominion, a warrior sworn to uphold the laws of the realm. But when he was falsely accused of heresy and burned at the stake, his story should have ended in the flames. Instead, something unnatural brought him back—a cursed revenant with a soul bound to the void. Now, Kael walks the war-torn kingdom of Eldros, a specter of vengeance shrouded in whispers of the damned. The world sees him as an abomination, hunted by the very order he once served. But Kael seeks only one thing: the truth. Who betrayed him? Why was he condemned? And what dark force resurrected him from the ashes? With the help of Lysara, a fugitive scholar obsessed with forbidden magic, and Dain, a former brother-in-arms torn between duty and loyalty, Kael must navigate a world that fears and despises him. The Holy Dominion wages war against the rebellious Ashen Pact, but beneath the bloodshed lurks a deeper conspiracy—one that ties Kael’s past to an ancient power long thought lost. As the whispers of the Pale Seer grow louder and the Black Veil threatens to consume what remains of his humanity, Kael must decide: Will he be the harbinger of destruction, or will he uncover the truth before it devours him?

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?
