The Song of Dawn and Evernight
This is a world split clean by Dawn and Evernight.
The Realm of Men , shielded by Dawn’s power, has scraped out an empire under a thousand years of darkkind tyranny. Yet still its folk cower from vampire fangs and werewolf claws, clinging to life by the skin of their teeth. Across the divide, the Evernight nobles rule the continent with Darkness at their call—council halls seethe with intrigue, blood feuds flame between kin, and the balance of Light and Dark hangs as thin as a blade’s edge.
Noctis, a humman, rose from the wreckage of the Airship Graveyard, a pawn in the great game of realms. By cruel fate, he was made a blood-slave, yet his mind stayed his own. So he became an outcast, straddling the line between two warring worlds—human warmth still beating in his heart, dark nightblood thrumming in his veins. He took up a spear, and walked the path of vengeance and survival.
Then he met Leela. Princess of the Azure Blood Clan, proud and alone, she forged a bond of destiny with him amid the grind of death and despair. Foes by birth, bound by the hatred of their races, they danced a dangerous dance—from wary testing to all-consuming obsession. Their love was a dark thing, a Romeo and Juliet stitched from blood and treachery, born and bred in the fire of war.
When the greedy eyes of a higher civilization shatter the world’s fragile peace, when the truth of a thousand years of war finally claws its way into the light, Noctis will stand atop the Holy Mountain, his forbidden love at his side. And there he must choose: let the cycle of Dawn and Evernight spin on forever, or carve a new way—a way where all creatures, light and dark, might live as one.
This is a ballad of forbidden love, blooming in the smoke of battle. This is a dark epic of choice and sacrifice, of guarding what matters in a world teetering on the edge of ruin.
