Baldur’s Gate meets Paradise Lost in this deeply emotional fantasy novel.

This novel stands at the intersection of classical Shakespearean tragedy, dark fantasy, mythological epic, and psychological realism. It draws on the tragic hero archetype while also engaging with the modern fantasy tradition of morally ambiguous characters and bleak, complex worlds. Its themes of power, betrayal, and inner conflict connect it to a broad spectrum of literature, from Greek tragedy to modern grimdark fantasy.

Velimir escaped the mass murder of children. He survived in the cold streets of Oligorsk by his will, fury and the frightening yet alluring presence of his dreams.

When his cunning catches the eye of a prominent citizen, he gets adopted into better prospects at life. Yet all is not as good as it seems. The man Velimir calls “father” is cruel and demands absolute obedience from his family.

Velimir grows into a peerless warrior and a man every bit as furious as the defiant urchin in the streets. His celestial blood beckons beyond mortality. But can love survive in a heart caged with steel, cast in a merciless world? Stakes are high as blood calls to blood and children of wrathful divine blood clash.
