Rashid once stood as the cosmos' greatest warrior, his reputation a beacon of strength-until a tragedy he could have prevented shattered him. With his heart broken and pride humbled by the loss of his beloved, he retreated from the battlefield to the quiet isolation of a mechanic's life.

But when a lost love returns to his life, her memories intact, Qismat faces emotions he'd buried long ago. As chaos ripples through the angelic realm, Qismat must rise beyond his self-imposed isolation and prove that even a humble blacksmith can alter the fate of worlds. In a tale where broken warriors and forgotten lovers must confront their pasts, Rashid and Qismat discover that true strength comes not from power alone, but from the courage to face one's deepest wounds. Together, can they redeem their legacies and restore balance to the Ethereal Plane, or will their pasts bind them forever?

When shy bartender Elliot is approached by a handsome stranger on a park bench at midnight, their unlikely attraction unravels everything they know about themselves, and the crime-ridden city around them. *** Elliot Taylor is running out of places to hide.
