In a quiet village nestled between shadowed woods and golden fields, Aric lives a humble life dedicated to the ancient god Saelon, guardian of harvest and flame. Unlike the others in his village, Aric's devotion to Saelon goes deeper than simple worship; his prayers are confessions of a love that borders on the forbidden, whispered only to the night.
But one evening, Aric's devotion calls forth the god himself. Saelon appears in mortal form, drawn by a bond he cannot fully understand, though he knows he should resist it. Gods and mortals live by separate laws, bound by ancient orders that should never be broken. Yet, despite these constraints, Saelon finds himself captivated by the fire in Aric's heart-a fire unlike any he has encountered in centuries.
As their connection deepens, Saelon and Aric must face the wrath of forces determined to keep them apart. With every secret encounter, they risk punishment, peril, and betrayal, both from those who would see their bond destroyed and from the gods themselves. But some flames, once ignited, refuse to die.
Eternal Flame is a tale of forbidden love between mortal and deity, woven with longing, sacrifice, and the timeless struggle between fate and free will.
Celestial London Chronicles #1
Long ago, the sun Xyliath, one of the ancient gods, fell in the first Blood War for peace. Her burning tears formed a flaming sword, which she gave to her son Aurelius.
The sword had the power to destroy worlds and create new ones, but above all it possessed a power that no other god had. The ability to kill a god. No man, no hand and no weapon could cut through the skin of a celestial being and take out its heart. The Sword of Xyliath was the only exception. For centuries, the sword was protected by the sun god Aurelius, until it was stolen. The sun god, who has long rivalled the moon god, blames the latter for this and sends his grandson Silthos, the god of love and desire, to capture him.
The young god receives support from the most feared deity of all - Aristaeus, the god of blood and war. This unusual partnership is intended to save the world from a possible new assassin of the gods. But the collaboration proves to be more difficult than expected. Silthos' usual charm doesn't seem to attract the god of blood and war, and Aristaeus' penchant for blood and torture even gives Silthos the creeps.
Two men - a psycho and an unkissed man who embodies lust and desire. Can they save the world from the power of the sword? Who can they trust and, most importantly, can they trust each other?
