Banished not for rebellion, but for a forbidden love.
The secret romance between Lucifer and Hanell the Creator was just the beginning.

Immortal Crowns
Book one · 2021
In the remote village of Heedeon, Bellwound Throvar and Arnon Helvug are visited by immortals from shadow and light. A weapon known as the Mezar is found, believed to house the Luciferian Epistle written before he, the Dove, suffered judgement by the Regents, gods of ultimate power and parents to Hanell the Creator.
The two boys set out on a journey with a Nephilin, hoping to find answers to their mysterious past. But secrets and lies do not ask for the right time to strike. A dark tale spreads, whispers that the Dove was expelled by the Pale Lion not because of rebellion, but because of their forbidden love for one another. While struggling to confess his true feelings for Arnon, Bellwound realizes that love won’t be enough to save them from their doom, especially if the doom was caused by love itself.
Gods and Mortals
Book two · 2023
The secrets of Bellwound’s lineage and lifelong love have led him away from a once quiet life and into the Dark Beyond, the realm where Lucifer and his Fallen Stars were imprisoned.

The arrival of Lucifer’s son disrupts an ancient order, stirring chaos in this doomed paradise.
While the Dark Beyond is shaken by Bellwound’s presence, Lucifer and his servants plot against mortals and the Creator with an army of Shadows. Bringing with him a chance for vengeance, the seed of darkness also finds his way back to the place where the universe began.
