Synopsis

In the desolate kingdom that lies between the realms of salvation and damnation, dwells a solitary creature, an exile from both heaven and hell. His existence, a tapestry of eternal solitude, is shattered when a mortal woman stumbles into his forbidden domain. Drawn by an inexplicable force, he finds himself compelled to protect her, a decision that will irrevocably alter the course of his lonely eons. As their paths intertwine, an unexpected and profound love blossoms between the outcast and the human, a love that defies the very laws of the universes from which he was banished. This epic tale explores themes of redemption, the nature of good and evil, and the transformative power of love. It delves into the heart of an ancient being forced to confront his own nature and the possibility of finding solace in the most unlikely of connections. Can their forbidden love survive the cosmic forces that seek to keep them apart, or will their sanctuary be their ultimate undoing?
