[ROUGH DRAFT] Wren has always chased treasure, not gods or glory, just enough gold to keep the past buried. But when an amnesiac god crosses his path, everything changes. Wren finds himself caught in a dangerous bond he neither trusts nor understands. Shadows of grief, memory, and prophecy follow their every step. And in the brewing war between islanders and mainlanders, Wren begins to question whether the greatest threat is not the gods above, but the humans who walk beside him. An epic of longing, power, and the weight of inheritance, Great Spirits is a queer fantasy that asks what we owe the past and what we might become if we dare to remember it. _______________________________________ @Aphrodite270 for the beautiful cover design!

"Love... the only force that brought him to his knees when the world could not." **"He is cruel and merciless. His absence was enough to make men kneel. His silence was enough to keep fear alive. He was the king of darkness- a name spoken with trembling mouths and lowered eyes. Yet there existed one word he despised more than rebellion, more than betrayal, more than blood... love."** " the one word capable of being both his ruin... and his resurrection."

This is not just a tale of loss and secrets. It is a quiet exploration of envy that grows in silence, of jealousy disguised as closeness, and of how the people who know us best can sometimes wish to take our place. Inna Sheriff had built a life many envied a brilliant barrister, newly married, principled, charismatic, and on the rise. Her world seemed unbreakable until she vanished without a trace. Weeks later, a carefully staged explanation emerged a note suggesting she had chosen to walk away from it all. The world moved on, accepting the loss. But beneath the surface, questions lingered. A hidden truth began to unravel, revealing not hatred from strangers, but something far more intimate. As layers of deception peel away, the investigation uncovers a circle of those closest to her a senator's son haunted by old regrets, a billionaire's daughter clinging to a lost connection, and a colleague whose quiet resentment had festered for years. Yet the deepest wound comes from the one person Inna trusted without question. Inna's story is a chilling reminder that the greatest threats often wear the face of loyalty. Envy doesn't always shout, it whispers, imitates, and slowly replaces. True friendship celebrates success unchecked jealousy seeks to erase it. In the end, one overlooked detail forces the truth into the light not for revenge, but for clarity. Because sometimes, the most devastating betrayal isn't an attack from outside... it's a silent theft from within. With lots of love Sofifi ♡
