Comply and excel, or fail and fall.
Welcome to Alfemir.
I’ve lived my entire life as a disappointment in the eyes of every angel who lives in Alfemir, but especially my Archangel father. Tarnishing our family name by being a powerless angel…that’s the legacy I’ll leave behind.
After years of failed placement tests, and with the time limit to find my magic breathing down my neck, I’ve come to accept my fate. When the clock ticks zero, I’ll have my wings brutally ripped from my body and be cast down to live with the humans.
Rejected, alone, and afraid.
But when a man from my past reappears, he tells me there’s a different option…another life I could lead, at his side. I’m desperate to find a place that feels like home, but taking his offer would mean leaving everything I know behind, and being branded a fugitive by Alfemir.
Can I find the courage to believe that I deserve a future that’s better than what waits for me here?
After my father exposes his true nature, and with the support from an unlikely ally, I find myself taking the leap of faith.
Little did I know that the ugliness I saw in my father runs deep in all of the Archangels in Alfemir. Their vile actions and hatred are written in the stars, along with my fate and my future.
Love, hatred, and fear collide as the veil placed over my eyes is ripped away. For the first time in my life I see Alfemir for what it truly is: Evil.
The night the fallen angels have feared for thousands of years is coming for us all.
Alfemir wants a fight, but I’ll give them a war.
Because it turns out I’m not powerless, after all.
Oh how the mighty have fallen…
Or rather, how we refused to turn a blind eye to the atrocities occurring in Alfemir any longer.
When I planned my escape from Alfemir’s cruelty and tight grip on the angels who live there, I never dared to think about returning. But that version of me is dead. My father and the other Archangels have no idea who, or what, I have become in my time away, and if they want to drag me back screaming, they have another thing coming.
When scouts find the Rebellion camp and blood stains the ground of our new home, we are left with no choice but to create a plan.
A plan to extinguish Alfemir and all they stand for.
Buried secrets come to life that have the opportunity to change the tides in our favor, but at what cost?
New enemies and friends reveal themselves, and I’m left reeling between all the connections around me and figuring out what each of them mean.
Is it possible to fall for more than one soul that calls out to me when it feels like I have a home in each of theirs More so, is it possible to not have to choose between them?
Fighting for those I’ve come to love, and the possibility of a better future for all, fills me with a purpose I’ve never felt before.
I just never thought my purpose would impact whether we all live or die in the end.
Stars, give me strength.
The time for our final fight is upon us...but how does one prepare to go against Heaven itself?
My father tried to kill me.
Yet in the same moment the blade met my throat, the rot beneath Alfemir’s carefully constructed front was laid bare for all to see.
With Alfemir liberated, the upper triads’ silent, watchful gaze now lingers over every spark of hope we’ve dared to ignite. It’s only a matter of time until history repeats itself—they will come to snuff out our rebellion.
Still, the stars hang heavier with each passing night as we race to uncover the rune that might keep me alive upon their descent. But if we make one mistake in crafting it, they’ll destroy me and the world alongside it.
Despite the steady strength, soft touches, and love from the five souls I’ve claimed as mine, the weight of all we’re up against is becoming too much to bear. Somehow the more I love, and feel their love in return, the heavier my place in the prophecy becomes.
It said I would be the world’s hope, or its demise, and that only I could decide.
Well, I have: I’ll burn the heavens themselves before I let them take away our home and those I love.
