The Selected, angels of light, guard the mysterious threshold between two universes. Aden, son of Tarek, commands the legions under his royal name.
Aden watched the universes crumble, never knowing those he trained, Guardian and Cashton, were a gift from the gods. Aden would never believe in such fantasy even if he were told. He'd seen too many magical prophecies veiled in mythology fail to arrive. Much like the lavender waters, he was told would set him free from the chains he felt tightening around him.
When Guardian was sent through the Fall to live out his first life in the dark universe, lavender waters appeared--darkness fought to consume the new soul within them and would've if Aden had not broken every sacred decree to save her.
Three days, it was all he had to love her. All he had before he'd lose her, then the memory of her, to the darkness that taunted him.
