Original dark fantasy
Chapters 1, 2 & 3
In a world choked by the iron fist of the Church, where magic is heresy and the mystical Faye are hunted to near extinction, two powerful figures find themselves on opposing sides of a bitter conflict, their destinies intertwined by both duty and a burgeoning, forbidden love. Aries, a uniquely gifted witch captured and forced into servitude by the Church, must betray her own kind to protect her imprisoned family. Her potent magic, once a source of wonder, is now a weapon wielded against her people, each spell a painful compromise. Meanwhile, Eldarion, a legendary Faye warrior and commander, embodies the last hope for his race's freedom. Driven by the relentless persecution they face, he wages a fierce war against the encroaching holy tide, his heart yearning for a future where his people can thrive. Their paths, seemingly destined for conflict, are fraught with the weight of sacrifice, the desperation for survival, and the undeniable pull of a connection that could either shatter the remnants of magic or ignite a new dawn of unity born from a love that defies the very foundations of their war-torn world.
