Why these tropes fit
Sera and her lover Nyktos, the Primal ruler of the Shadowlands, are held captive by Kolis, the false King of the Gods, after a startling betrayal. Sera must survive the cruelty of Kolis's Court and navigate the chaotic king's erratic nature and twisted honor while he insists she is nothing more than a lie. As The Ascension comes upon her, revelations about the creation of the realms upend her understanding of her duty. Meanwhile, Nyktos is determined to keep Sera alive even if it means risking the destruction of the realms and failing to Ascend as the Primal of Life. With the War of Primals threatening and Kolis positioned to invade Dalos, hope rests on the foreseen unpredictable thread—something more powerful than the Fates.
