An Incarnation of Shadow and Light

In the Kingdom of Verchiél only a handful of people known as Incarnate can use magic. Equally feared and respected, they are revered as saints and indulged like gods. But the sudden deaths of Verchiél's rulers unleashes a power struggle between four Incarnate, each seeking power to fulfil their own desires.



Gabriel, a charismatic socialite who takes darker paths to avoid slipping back into powerlessness.



Zoe, the daughter of a disgraced merchant, determined to carve out a new path for her life.



Niklas, an exiled prince trying to escape the ghosts of his past.



Silje, an assassin who will stop at nothing until she's seized the adoration she has always been denied.



Infighting and betrayal run rampant as each becomes worse than their problems in order to solve them.
