A millennium has passed since the world was forged from the wreckage of a divine war. Today, a sprawling civilization thrives under the cold, ticking watch of the Timekeepers, unaware that its golden streets rest upon a foundation of celestial manipulation and a staggering lie. In the gutters of this society, two orphans..Silarias and Nyx,fight for every breath of life. To the world, they are nobodies and freaks. To the Cursed Gods watching from the shadows, they are the final pieces of a Long Game set in motion by the Bansaday, the Great Winged Lion who betrayed the heavens to create a world of his own. Silarias is marked by a Primal Curse, his body sprouting fangs and manes that make the very air tremble with a power he does not understand. Nyx is bound by invisible, agonizing Seals that suppress a Royalty aura she was never meant to possess. They know nothing of their true nature...that they are living splinters of a Divine Genesis. But survival is no longer theirs alone
