The first battle for the Hollow-Born is over-yet no one has won. Lyra Ashbourne has awakened as the Daughter of Ash, and the shockwave of her becoming has split every realm down the middle. Heaven scrambles to contain what it cannot control. Hell fractures under the weight of loyalty, fear, and prophecy. And in the dark beyond both thrones, Erebus-First Darkness, finally whole-begins gathering an army powerful enough to erase creation. The mortal world burns. Billions vanish. Prayer turns feral. And every scream feeds the coming war. If balance is to be restored, Alastor-Prince of Hell, executioner, and avenger-will need more than blades and shadows. He will need his iron-blooded brother. An angel who dared to touch what Hell claims as its own. A lover who has transcended into something terrible and divine. And Jasper-the Shadow God-whose devotion has never been clean, and whose motives have never been safe. Vows will be tested. Oaths will break. Fate's threads will be cut. And when the realms finally choose their sides, love may be the most dangerous weapon left. Because this time, the enemy isn't Heaven. It isn't Hell. It's the thing that made them both. New chapters will begin releasing January 2026. The countdown to reckoning starts now.
