Neon Halo
When Lazarus Crowe falls from the burning spires of Halo Dominion, he brings ruin, and something far more dangerous, through the cathedral doors. Elara Voss, bound by a decade of devotion to the Order, is the first to find him broken and bleeding on the marble steps, and the first to feel the seismic shift in her soul the moment their eyes meet. As the Iron Choir's hymns distort and Sister Vespera tightens her grip on secrets that could unravel everything, Elara is beset by visions of Miriam, a woman she has never met, yet mourns with a grief that tastes of lifetimes. The Parasite Angel's voice curls through the static of her mind, promising answers wrapped in damnation, while the Vault Seraphim stir beneath the city, their awakening tied to a prophecy the Elders will kill to keep buried. Each moment brings Elara closer to a choice that will determine not only her own fate, but whether the boundary between salvation and corruption dissolves entirely. To love Lazarus is to betray the only home she has ever known. To destroy him is to lose the only truth that has ever set her free.
