The Renegade Mage

Our love could topple an empire.

Katyr
I never meant to fall in love with him.

When my uncle Niro returned from exile, I thought he’d be the anchor I needed
after my father’s death. But those stolen moments in the practice yard ignited
something forbidden, something that could destroy us both.

Now, the empire teeters on the edge of chaos. My
grandmother, an immortal lich, feasts on the magic of children to sustain her
reign, and my sister’s life hangs by a thread. The desert lands of Savarra
offer sanctuary, but how can I abandon the man who taught me that love is not a
weakness, even if staying means facing the monster who raised me?

Niro
I came back to mourn my brother, not to fall for his son.

Katyr was never truly my nephew, but the bloodline we share is a chain that
binds us in the eyes of the world. And yet, every glance, every touch, every
whispered word between us defies the laws of empire and family alike.

Now, war rages on all fronts—brutal campaigns in the north,
rebellion in the south—and the revolution we’re fighting for demands more than
just passion. It demands sacrifice. But as the lines between loyalty and desire
blur, I can’t help but wonder: will the world we’re trying to save be the very
thing that destroys us?

In a world where ancient power crumbles and people dare to
dream of freedom, Katyr and Niro must navigate between duty and desire. But as they fight to build a better world from the ashes of an empire, their forbidden
love may prove to be either their greatest strength—or their undoing.
