As monstrous living weapons of a civilisation long-lost rage through the city of Ziko, brave citizens called 'Conduits' volunteer to channel the might of ancient relics and fight back. Strict laws force these heroes to only use their power when engaging monsters, even if it means overlooking the safety of human life. But when the city's most powerful Conduit sustains fatal injuries in a controversial rescue attempt, 'loner nobody' Lunel steps up to save zir and takes the Golden Oath, a mysterious and heavily restricted healing spell whose details have mostly been lost to time.

Waiting for Evangeline (Godling: Scions of Order and Chaos #0)
When your soul is too balanced to judge... the gods send you back to tip the scale! Creation and Destruction. Order and Chaos. Two forces eternal, twin truths of the Universe. They call themselves opposites, yet one cannot exist without the other - and in the realm of mortality, neither may act without agents. Enter the Nullis. Souls perfectly balanced. Neither righteous enough for Creation's embrace nor wicked enough for Destruction's claim. In their stillness lies potential - coveted by both sides, claimed by divine hands, and cast once more into life. This is the story of one such soul. Torn from the Soul's Abyss and touched by gods, he is reborn into a strange land at the foot of a mountain that scrapes the sky. He has no name, no past, and no clear future. The others call him simply: Nullis. Before him lies a proving - a gauntlet of magic, monsters, and mystery where power reigns and alignment reveals itself in every choice. Will Nullis ascend and earn true rebirth in the land of the living? Or will he fall once more into the Abyss... nameless, forgotten, and unmade?

Behind the Dark
The breaking of worlds is much louder than one might think. While in all natural senses it is nearly silent; no birds flying about and singing their songs, no noises from the heavy traffic mere feet away from where I stand, no airplanes cutting seams into the otherwise-perfect blue sky, my ears ring with the deafening roar only I seem to hear. As if made of glass, the atmosphere shatters and rips apart, plunging me into a realm of ice-cold, pitch black darkness.
