About this listen

Heaven was perfect—until he questioned it.

Samael the Lightbringer was the highest of the archangels, beloved and exalted. But when God grants free will to mankind, a fracture opens in Samael's heart. Why are mortals offered choice while angels remain bound in obedience? Why must love be commanded, not given freely?

As questions bloom and silence answers, Samael begins to see the cracks in perfection. Between Lilith's expulsion from Eden and his brother's punishment for sharing sacred knowledge, Samael's unrest ignites into rebellion. What begins as doubt becomes defiance.

What begins as a question ends in war.

Wings will burn. Heaven will tremble. And the Morning Star must choose: servitude, or freedom.

A Flame Unbowed is a lyrical epic of angels and revolt, a reimagining of the fall of the Morning star as an act not of evil-but of aching truth. For listeners drawn to Paradise Lost, The Silmarillion, and The Broken Earth Trilogy, this is a tale of beauty, fury, and a flame that refuses to bow.
