After the ashes of war settle, the gods who once tore through realms and hearts now find themselves bound by the consequences of their past. Zephavaron Ivrance, newly ascended as a solar god, struggles to reconcile his power with the pain of betrayal and the blood on his hands. His relationship with Astaroth begins to become a fragile thread pulled taut by secrets, guilt, and the weight of their shared history. As the world around them still reels from the scars of war, new challenges arise-not only from enemies who seek to exploit their power, but from within. Amelia and Luca, two orphaned children caught in the ripple effect of the divine conflict, begin to unravel the threads of their own mysterious abilities, discovering their place in a world that no longer makes sense. Amidst the broken remnants of gods, blood, and shattered relationships, can Zeph and Astaroth heal from the wounds of their past? Or will the shadows of war drag them back into the darkness, leaving only chaos in their wake?

The gods are watching. The past is bleeding into the present. And Zeph is running out of time. Two months after surviving his so-called ascension, Zeph is still piecing himself together. The voices in his head-one of them belonging to a long-dead god-haven't quieted. His nightmares are growing more vivid. And Astaroth... Astaroth is hiding something. When an old enemy resurfaces with a devastating truth, Zeph and Astaroth are thrust into a battle they aren't ready for. Chronica has returned, stronger than before, and she's not alone. As divine power begins to stir once more, the line between who they were and who they are now starts to blur. Zeph was never meant to survive. Astaroth was never meant to remember. And when fate demands its due, they may have to destroy each other to break free. What does it mean to be divine?

Zeph Ivrance has always known his life was destined for greatness, but he never imagined the truth would come crashing down at his coronation. Chosen as the sacrificial prince of the Solar Cult, he instead becomes the vessel for a god. As his newfound powers claw at him from within, Zeph is forced to confront a dark legacy and a destiny he never asked for. The struggle to control the power inside him grows more intense-threatening to tear him apart and drag everyone around him into the chaos. Astaroth Ashborne carries the weight of his past in silence. Reincarnated from a Lunar god, he lives with the knowledge of his former life, hiding the truth from those around him. Tasked with overseeing Zeph's dangerous transformation thanks to his vision, Astaroth walks a fine line between duty and desire. The decision on how far he's willing to go to protect Zeph-without losing himself in the process dawns on him. Amare has always known she was different-born from the forbidden love between a Solar and Lunar, she exists as a living symbol of the fractures between the two cults. Her ambition is clear: she will dismantle the cults from the inside, but that means playing the long game. Earning the title of Prime Minister is just the first step. As she rises through the ranks, Amare's true motivations begin to take shape, but the more she learns, the more she's forced to confront her own divided loyalties.
