Sublime Glory, Profound Ruin

INSPIRATION FOR THE BOOK
The downfall of Lucifer is perhaps the most famous and fearsome tale of a being's collapse from the grace of divinity. His excessive pride, megalomania, and insatiable greed led him from the pinnacle of Heaven to the bowels of Hell. His brutal defeat by Heaven's armies left him broken, but not for long. Soon, he realized he had achieved everything he had ever craved-his empire.

As time passed, Lucifer's dominion grew faster and stronger than ever before, with Kings and Queens bowing in servitude. The Morningstar, once the most beloved, had descended into eternal abomination. Ignoring the warnings of God's servants, his own narcissism sealed his fate. For all eternity, the beast would fight battles he could never win, no matter how powerful he became.

AUTHOR'S NOTE
In this book, originally intended to bear the Latin title "Gloria Sublimis, Ruina Profunda" (Sublime Glory, Profound Ruin), I delve into the mistakes of the most influential individual in history, though expressed through my characters. Prepare for dilemmas, heartbreaks, and unexpected twists that may leave even the most resilient reader shaken.

As you read, take time to reflect on the unfolding events. Analyze the situations, the characters, their motivations, and the potential consequences of their actions. Challenge your psychological perception and ask yourself: Is the villain truly evil, and if so, how evil? Can he be redeemed? If redemption is possible, who could redeem him-and why?

Consider, too, the protagonists. Are they here to save us or deceive us? Is the system they represent for us or against us? Could it be that we are all destined to be deceived by those we trust most? This story invites you to question not just the characters, but the very nature of power, justice, and redemption.
