Revenant Slaves
In a far future where Earth is deliberately burned clean, the self-anointed Emperor of Mankind shepherds “the worthy” into the stars, while his Living Flame reduces the rest to ash. Humanity calls it mercy. Something older calls it victory. A formless Enemy, impossible, forgotten, and somehow responsible for birthing the Emperor’s Flame, watches the exodus with a smile, before vanishing into the cracks of reality.
A thousand years later, that hidden war surfaces in three births that shouldn’t matter… but do. Zain is welcomed into life by a mother’s forbidden protection, sealed from the Living Flame and doomed to be an outcast. On the mining hellworld Mortrum, Ash grows up under acid rain and slavery’s cruelty, fighting to protect the only family he has, until one violent moment of self-defense changes him forever. And in the gleaming halls of House Whiterock, Luna, the “Silver Princess,” is heir to a throne… yet denied the Flame’s gifts, surrounded by smiling nobles who fear her weakness and a father who despises her for existing.
Watching all three is Avraham Darkflame, an Inquisitor with no Flame of his own, a debt to repay, and a plan set in motion by a prophecy he refuses to ignore. He has seen these children in chains of light, connected to countless others shackled by blood and belief. As the Empire tightens its grip and the Inquisition hunts whispers of heresy, three young lives begin to bend the fate of billions… a conclusion that could break the Living Flame’s dominion but may ignite something far worse.
