In the shadow of Eden's lost gate, Abelion-a descendant of Seth bearing dangerous, half-divine strength-and Kasdaya, a Watcher who defies his own kind, struggle to shape mercy into a world awakening to angelic power and human ambition. As the Watchers descend and gift knowledge that becomes both empire and weapon, Nephilim rise, cities harden, and war threatens to consume all restraint. Refusing crowns and spectacle, Abelion and Kasdaya forge a living Covenant-simple laws meant to protect the weak, bind the strong, and preserve life when pride would burn it away. When judgment begins to stir like rising waters, they choose not dominion but fidelity: to walk forward bound by the law they have written in flesh and memory, trusting that mercy, carried humbly, can outlast both iron and angels.
