A son calls from his dreams. A fated mate anchors his soul. Kerac must choose: his holy duty or the child promised by his god.

Kerac is an Aesriphos Aspirant drowning in crippling social anxiety while haunted by prophetic dreams of a blond boy calling him "Papa". To become a warrior mage against the dark god Qos, he must maintain iron discipline, but his mind is a constant storm of fear.

Enter Darolen, a man of quiet strength whose gravel-and-honey voice offers an anchor in the darkness. They share the Ezhav bond—a fated soulbond that predates their first breath. However, Aesriphos laws strictly forbid children, and the prophecy in Kerac's dreams refuses to fade.

Their love becomes the only shield against the shadow of a corrupt god, forcing Kerac to decide: will he follow his duty to the man he adores, or sacrifice his future for a child who exists only in his dreams?
