What happens when the most powerful force in existence is given to someone who never wanted to wield it?
Aric's journey begins as a humble scholar within the Priesthood of Knowledge. But fate has other plans. Thrust into the treacherous world of politics and royalty, Aric discovers he harbors a unique duality: the Epitome of Darkness and the Power of Light. This unprecedented balance of forces places him at the center of a cosmic struggle, where no mortal has ever dared to tread.
As Aric navigates this perilous path, he must master his inner turmoil and wield his extraordinary gifts to restore harmony to a world on the brink of chaos.
But how does one control something that exists beyond the laws of nature? How does one remain human when wielding the power of gods?
And when the time comes, will Aric be Valerya’s salvation or its destruction?
***
They are rivals. They are opposites. They are the threat no one saw coming.
At the center of the storm stands Valtor, the golden boy, crowned and favored heir. Raised on discipline, control, and whispered prophecy, Valtor was groomed to be king. Yet, behind his elegance and arrogance lies a colder, lonelier heart—one that burns with an unfamiliar fire when Aric enters the room.
Their battles are fierce, their words sharper than steel, but beneath every clash lies an unspoken connection neither can name.
They despise what they see in each other, yet they crave it even more.
As their walls begin to crack and their masks slip, the fire between them flickers into something softer, something stolen. The question is no longer if they’ll destroy each other, but how long they can resist.
In a world of power, prophecy, and pain, how do two enemies, forged by opposite worlds, find each other? What happens when your greatest rival becomes the only one who truly sees you?
Thrust into a world of uncertainty, where everything is unfamiliar, you bear a name of great power—yet your knowledge is purely theoretical. This ebook presents an incredible concept, masterfully blending world-building with slow-burn character development. Patience is key, as the story gradually unfolds, revealing its depth and intricacies. Once you immerse yourself, you’ll find yourself completely drawn in—drifting away from reality, where nothing else matters but the journey of Aric and those around him. The novel seamlessly weaves together politics and magic, two themes often left unexplored in their full complexity, yet here they are brought to life in vivid detail. But one question lingers: How can a mere priest-turned-prince survive when the world around him begins to turn against him?

At this point I would say the story is just awesome. The character development from the beginning is really nice. There is already a list of friends and enemies that I have made in my mind and now I just want Arc to do some face slapping.

The writing is very stylized with those familiar with fantasy genre related novels. The potential story and drama that can be told here is almost unlimited thanks to multiple heirs. I'm very excited to see where the story is heading.
