On a night of fire and moonlight, a boy awakens to discover his life is not his own.

Noah has always been haunted: by visions of crucifixions in deserts of ash, by voices that speak through him in tongues older than time, and by a monstrous figure with spiraled horns and wings of black and white. His parents believe he is cursed, priests call him possessed, and sorcerers whisper that he carries the blood of demons.

But the truth is darker still. Before his birth, a covenant was written in blood - a pact binding his soul to King Varakil, a prince of the Inferiors who claims to be his true father. Marked with a blazing sigil and torn between church and abyss, Noah is thrust into a world where saints betray, witches conspire, and secret orders scheme to crown him heir to a throne of fire.

As time fractures around him - days vanishing, years erased, and memories rewritten - Noah must confront the riddle of his own existence: Is he a victim of madness, a child of prophecy, or the long-awaited son of a demon king?
