The Saint of Bright Doors

Raised by his mother to murder his estranged father, the messianic leader of an imperial faith, Fetter abandons his mission and escapes to the sprawling city of Luriat. Striving to carve out an unburdened life, he finds himself drawn to the city's enigmatic bright doors—sealed, unopenable portals that hum with ancient power. As revolutionary whispers grow and old dogmas reassert their grip, Fetter gets caught in the machinery of politics and myth, forced to reckon with the bloody destiny he sought to outrun.
