"I told you not to touch her!" Adrian’s voice thundered through the air as his fist connected again, blood spraying. His jaw was clenched, his teeth grinding with rage. I grabbed at his arm, desperate. “Adrian, stop! Please, you’ll kill him!” But he didn’t hear me. His fury was deafening. "Today, I will kill you," he growled, raising his fist once more. “Adrian!” I cried, pulling harder. My hands trembled against the iron of his grip, but it was like trying to move a mountain. Finally, with a sharp jerk, he shoved the man aside and seized my wrist. His grip was unyielding, his eyes burning like embers. Without a word, he dragged me toward his car. I stumbled beside him, breathless. His silence was more terrifying than his rage. The car roared to life, and he slammed his foot on the accelerator. The world blurred past us, headlights slicing through the night. “Adrian—stop! We’ll die like this!” My voice cracked, every word trembling. “Please! Slow down!” His gaze snapped to me, dark and dangerous. For a long second, he didn’t speak. Then, finally, he loosened his grip on the wheel, easing the car just enough to stop my heart from shattering. "Are you insane?!" he burst out, voice raw. "I could have smashed your face against the glass!" His lips curled into a vicious sneer. "Why did you come between us?" His voice was low, deadly. “Because I had to!” I shouted, anger spilling out. “I won’t let you kill him!” “You think I care?” His voice dripped venom. “I want to kill him right now.” My words tangled in my throat. I had nothing left to fight him with—except one truth. “I won’t let him marry Tessy!” I screamed, chest heaving. His jaw clenched so tight I thought it might break. He didn’t reply. The silence was suffocating, broken only by the growl of the engine as we reached the hostel gates. I yanked the door open, ready to escape his fury. But before I could step out, his voice sliced through the night like a blade. "NEXT TIME—I WILL KILL HIM if he touches you again." His eyes locked onto mine, burning, unrelenting. His teeth were clenched, his whole body vibrating with rage. Adrian, a vampire, falls in love with Eira, a human—but tries to show that he hates her. But how long will he be able to hide his true feelings? Do you think this is what’s written in their destiny? And is their love strong enough to change their fate?

In a world where light and shadow were once one, the ancient prophecy of the Eclipsed Sovereign foretells the return of balance — one being who will bear both crowns of Luminar and Umbrael. Born beneath a total eclipse, Stellan Adrian is that child. From his first breath, the cosmos itself bends toward him. Flowers bloom at his touch. Stones orbit him in reverence. The very fabric of reality whispers his name. He never asked for this power, nor the destiny that comes with it. His childhood friend, Ren Samael, was supposed to stand beside him. Instead, Ren watches as the world hands Stellan miracles while forcing him to claw and bleed for every scrap of strength. As Stellan's powers awaken with effortless grace, Ren's own abilities manifest through rage, defiance, and a growing shadow that answers only to his will. What begins as jealousy slowly poisons Ren’s soul. The boy who once raced through village streets with his friend becomes something far darker — a rival willing to tear destiny apart rather than live in its shadow. Consumed by envy, Ren sabotages the very prophecy he was meant to share, ensuring that if he cannot claim the Sovereign’s power, then no one will. As hunters like the ancient devourer Nyxara, the rigid Church of Ordered Light, and unseen cosmic forces close in, Stellan must navigate a world that both worships and fears him. With his loyal anchor Lyra by his side and a mysterious Seeker as guide, he races to understand his connection to the primordial Black Hole at the heart of creation. But the greatest threat may not come from gods or monsters. It may come from the friend who now walks willingly into darkness — determined to become the villain the prophecy never warned about. In a tale of cosmic fate, fractured friendship, and the devastating cost of envy, two boys bound by prophecy will either restore balance to the universe… or destroy it in their rivalry. Eclipsed Sovereign — where one rises through light, and the other falls gloriously into shadow.
