He successfully assassinated one of the Elders before fleeing gravely wounded—only to inadvertently take Aion, a half-blood noble, hostage. Seeking to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Elder Council, Aion forcibly turned Silas at the brink of death via the Embrace, chaining him to his side as a pawn for vengeance. Within this fragile, uneasy alliance, the two men evolved from mutual suspicion to forging a bond forged in life-and-death peril, and an unspoken, forbidden affection bloomed between them. To save the dying Silas, Aion dared to cast a forbidden ritual to share their life force, permanently weaving their fates into one.

Tens of thousands of starving warriors surge into human territory—igniting a colossal war that engulfs humans, demons, beasts, and gods.

She stands before the Council of Elders and demands the abolition of the discriminatory edicts. Later, she travels to the Wind City-State under a false identity, meets Prince Silas, and falls in love. Together, they unite two realms and forge a new order where magic belongs to all—regardless of gender.

Centuries after the extinction of human civilization — perhaps even longer — Earth no longer belongs to humankind. The once-thriving cities have crumbled into ruins, skyscrapers swallowed by yellow sand, steel forests reduced to derelict remnants where mechanical life now roosts.
