BOUND BY LIGHT AND SHADOW {A destiny written in fire and shadow) Introduction: In a world where the sky has not bled for a thousand years, two children are born under signs of prophecy—one bathed in light, the other wrapped in shadows. Kaeli, a girl born without an ember, is deemed a misfortune in her village, yet the sky itself whispers that she carries the First Light. Far away, in the wastelands, a boy named Kael emerges with a cracked, dark ember pulsing in his chest, a living shadow that binds him to a destiny he does not yet understand. Separated by miles but connected by fate, their paths are drawn together by a force older than time itself. Light and shadow—opposites that cannot exist alone—may either destroy the world or save it, depending on the choices they make. As whispers of prophecy stir, ancient powers awaken, and secrets long buried surface, Kaeli and Kael must navigate danger, betrayal, and the growing pull between them. Their meeting will shake the heavens, ignite powers they never knew they had, and challenge everything they thought they understood about destiny, love, and revenge. The sky watches. The world waits. And soon… light will touch shadow.
