"Between the Jaws of Fate, a spark shall ignite, born of shadow and flame, a breath against the void.
Its cry will shatter the silence, a sound the gods will fear, and its steps will weave the end of all that was known.
When the rivers run black and the skies open their veins, chains unseen will crumble, and what sleeps shall wake.
In its veins, the threads of creation unravel, and in its shadow, the world will bow or break.
Beware the herald of dusk and dawn, for its will is neither mercy nor malice, but the breaking of the wheel, and the scream of what lies beyond."
Eowyn Aeloria, heir to the gods' throne in Ebonmere, has spent her life under her mother, Queen Vespera's, tyrannical rule and harsh consequences. When she has a run in with Cylas, a brooding blacksmith hiding from the shadows of his own bloodline, they discover a connection that defies the boundaries between their warring worlds- and Queen Vespera forbidding their entanglement, along with a life-changing revelation, sparks a dangerous rebellion neither of them can resist.
Cylas, once a ruthless general for the Sylvaneth kingdom of Noctyra, seeks refuge from a violent past-and from his mother, Queen Elira, who has made it her life's work to eradicate Eowyn's kind from existence through any means necessary. But meeting Eowyn awakens both his heart and a power that he can no longer keep hidden. As Eowyn and Cylas battle to keep their bond secret, whispers of an ancient power and prophecy awaken, placing them in the center of a conflict that could either save their world or destroy it. Now, with the future of the people of each of their kingdoms hanging in the balance, Eowyn and Cylas must decide if they should follow the path that is already written, or to feed the Jaws of Fate.

In the aftermath of the collision, where the Light Dimension and Dark Dimension violently merged, Arcanoa was born-a realm where fantasy came alive, and nightmares roamed the earth. This cataclysmic event has unleashed monstrous beings from the Hollow Zone, Veilos, upon an unsuspecting world. To balance this surge of darkness, a select few were gifted with the power of Aura-a rare mystical force that grants its bearers the strength to be humanity's guardian.
Sixteen-year-old Lucius Gregory has long severed his ties with the unjust world, choosing a life of isolation deep within the whispering forests, seeking solace with his beloved sister, Evangeline. Haunted by a past marred by tragedy, Lucius has forsaken the burdens of destiny and yearn only for peaceful life.
But peace is but a fleeting dream.
One fateful night, their sanctuary is shattered by the ruthless Chaos Syndicate-a malevolent organization bent on uncovering the domain of the Serpent God with Lucius' power, as foretold by a dark prophecy. Forced to flee, Lucius narrowly escapes the clutches of death, but at the heart-wrenching cost of Evangeline's life.
He later discover that the Chaos Syndicate orchestrated the calamity that decimated his village two years prior. They seek the Codex Gigas, a legendary tome said to hold the Answers to All Mysteries within Arcanoa. The first key to unlocking its secrets lies within the cursed power of the Serpent God-power that Lucius inadvertently related to.
Driven by vengeance and duty, Lucius sets forth on a perilous quest. Accompanied by his ethereal spirit companion, Lily, and the Exorcists of the Golden Arslan-a revered organization dedicated to restoring humanity's hope, Lucius embarks on a journey across treacherous seas to the Realm of the Serpent God, nestled within the heart of the dreaded Sea of Devils. Will he rise as the beacon of hope his sister believed in, or will he unleash the very darkness he strives to destroy?
