Dorian Kenelm, a young marshland guide known fondly as 'the river king', traverses the Great Mire at the behest of his powerful father; Helen Carmine, daughter to Selannon's sole lord and heir to the Carmine estate, struggles to reconcile the future with her duties to her town; and Christos Nelson, a humble baker's son, lives his life unremarkably but for his dreams of a boundless world beyond the mire.
Meanwhile, across the Evangelium, a lowly scholar is tasked with investigating terrible rumours that may bring the legendary Carmarilla of Scholars to its knees.
Slowly, the eyes of the world are turning towards the lonely marshland village of Seton. The river of time churns ceaselessly, bringing with it the sediment of the mountains and the dirt of a history that should never have been forgotten.

The Fire Beneath the Throne
Magic is forbidden. Love is dangerous. Prophecy is absolute. Alex Corvus was born with a secret he cannot reveal-magic in a world that burns those who wield it. Hidden away in the quiet edges of Ravenwood, he lives between shadows and silence, watched over by his frail mother and the two friends who know the truth: Johnny, the reckless heir to a noble house, and Lyra, his sister, a scholar who believes in reason over faith. When Alex accepts an apprenticeship under the mysterious Lord Arnaut, his life changes forever. Arnaut is brilliant, unsettling, and far too kind to be trusted. Yet in his dark halls, Alex finds more than mentorship-he finds belonging... and something dangerously close to love. But the past never stays buried. The old servant, Dot, knows what Alex truly is-and what he will become. The Goddess whispers to him in dreams, guiding his hand toward a destiny written long before his birth. Bloodlines are not forgotten. Curses do not die. As the kingdom fractures and magic stirs beneath the throne, Alex's power grows-and so does something else, something alive within him, a secret too sacred to name. By moonlight, a prophecy awakens. By dawn, a king will burn. Author's Note: This is the Beta Version of The Fire Beneath the Throne. Chapters will be updated and refined over time.
