Description

In a world where darkness threatens to consume all, the Vigiles Sancti, once mighty protectors of humanity against evil, find themselves on the brink of collapse. Blessed by God with divine sight to see heavenly beings, the order's gift has become a curse as human greed twists it into something sinister tainting it with their relentless pursuit of power sparked by the Hellsfall Codex. What started as a mere record of demons and cultists killed by each house has turned into a catalyst for moral decay, sparking a vicious race to the claim of superiority.

Amidst this chaos Selah Thorne, the daughter of the presumed-dead leaders of House Silverthorne, now shattered due to its desperate attempt at rebellion, is raised in secret until one day her world is thrown off its axis as her parents vanish without a trace. Determined to uncover the truth, she throws herself into investigative journalism.

Selah's path collides with the enigmatic Lucas Bledman, when she stumbles upon a terrifying battlefield where Vigiles Sancti clash with cultists. Dragged into the turbulent world of the order, Selah must confront the secrets of her family's past and the corruption that destroyed them.

As Selah navigates the treacherous world of the Vigiles Sancti, she is faced with a choice: Will she take up their fight for justice, or be consumed by the same lust for power that has rotted the order to its core? And what of Lucas, heir to the tainted legacy of House Bledman? Will he blindly follow in his ancestors' footsteps, or will he find the strength to break free and forge a new path?We have released a theme song for the tale, enjoy :) https://youtu.be/9QIU2qlHTQA?si=LzzaBeotRNIBv63r

    Honestly, i think this book deserves a lot more love than its currently getting....
    Within the first 4 chapters you can already see the beautiful relationship between selah and eliana devoloping into those two girl besties every book has and its so cute :-). The story creates such a beautiful image of a fantasy world within ours and honestly gives percy jackson vibes lol.
    One thing to note is that I think sometimes there are some minor grammar mistakes that could be smoothed out but eh honestly thats only a tiny problem.
