Summary
An epic of shadow and light, love and ruin; a gothic-cinematic reimagining of Baldur’s Gate III. In the aftermath of capture and corruption, two lost souls find each other: Shi’nshri Arralin, exiled heir of a fallen drow house, and Astarion Ancunìn, vampire spawn of a tyrant’s design. Both marked by hunger and control, both searching for a life beyond the webs that bound them.Their journey begins in blood and fire, a fall from the stars to the shores of a broken world. Joined by companions equally cursed, they cross the wilds of Faerûn in search of freedom from the mind flayer parasite and from the ghosts of gods and masters alike. Through acts of violence and quiet grace, Shi and Astarion become mirrors of each other: stillness and storm, restraint and recklessness, warmth and cold. What begins as wary alliance becomes obsession, then reverence; love as both wound and weapon. Their story moves through hellfire and moonlight, from the burning halls of Avernus to the sanctuaries of shattered faith. But freedom has its price. When vengeance comes, it demands not only blood, but the very definitions of self—what it means to love, to endure, to be seen. And in the end, only the stars will bear witness.
