Description

Art student Iris Paige came to Paris to study history and perfect her craft, not to discover she's at the center of an ancient prophecy that could either save or destroy the world.

When a routine evening with her friend Selene turns into an alley ambush by knife-wielding goblins, Iris instinctively unleashes brilliant light from her bare hands—magic that should be impossible without years of training. Thrust into a hidden Paris where myths walk in human disguise and reality itself is maintained by a magical construct called the Veil, Iris learns that creatures from every pantheon coexist alongside unsuspecting humans.

Under the guidance of Roland, an ancient warrior who wields a legendary sword and leads the Veilkeepers—guardians who maintain the boundary between worlds—Iris begins to harness her unprecedented abilities. But as she develops her skills with rune magic that can channel her chaotic power, Iris discovers a shocking truth: she is the child of Lucifer, the neutral mediator between underworld realms, and Loki, the trickster god.

Now, with the Veil weakening and primordial entities stirring, a secret coalition of deities believes Iris is either their salvation or destruction. Prophecies name her "the child of divided light," whose dual heritage grants her unique powers—and makes her both target and potential savior.

With only her artistic sensibility, her developing magic, and allies including her protective friend Selene, Iris must navigate divine politics and determine her own role in the prophecy before the barriers between worlds collapse entirely. The Veil isn't just hiding magic from human eyes—it's containing ancient horrors that were sealed away for good reason.

And they're waking up.
