Born beneath a blood moon and wrapped in silence, Luke Bane was never meant to survive.
The younger brother of Magnus Bane, Luke entered the world amidst tragedy. When their mother discovered she had birthed two children of the demon Asmodeus, her sanity shattered. In a desperate act of grief and fear, she tried to end their lives-and her own. Magnus survived and fled. But in the chaos, something ancient and unnatural awakened in Luke: Chaos Magic-untamed, unstable, and far beyond the reach of spellbooks and circles.
Presumed dead by Magnus, Luke was secretly taken by a forgotten warlock sect who believed him to be a living prophecy: the Chaos Star, a being who could remake or destroy worlds. Raised in shadows, Luke's childhood was shaped by control, experimentation, and isolation. His emotions became dangerous. His power was not cast-it happened, triggered by fear, pain, or loneliness. Cities burned, time cracked, and memories vanished around him.
But Luke escaped.
He wandered the world alone, hiding from warlocks who feared him, Downworlders who hunted him, and a brother who didn't know he was alive. Over centuries, Luke watched Magnus from afar-loving him, hating him, missing him. His greatest fear? That finding Magnus again would either save him... or unleash everything he tried to bury.
When demonic forces rose once more and Magnus was nearly lost, Luke could no longer hide. He returned, broken and powerful, to a world that called him myth, curse, and mistake.
But Luke Bane is no myth.
He is chaos wrapped in grief, love masked by power, and a weapon who longs to be anything but.
And he's done running.
