Eidolon

The world had spent the last century pretending peace was possible.
After the Blood Wars nearly destroyed civilization, humans, witches, vampires, werewolves, and demons signed the Concord Treaty. The fighting ended, but the hatred never did. Species lived side by side while remaining carefully separated, each confined to their own districts and communities.Officially, everyone was equal.
Unofficially, everyone knew their place.
She worked for the Department of Historical Records and Compliance, a forgotten government office responsible for sorting, cataloging, and preserving old records. It was boring work.
Until she found a file that shouldn't exist.
No barcode.No classification.No digital record.
Only one word stamped across the front:
SERAPHIM
When she searched the government database, nothing appeared.
Someone noticed.
His name was Dorian Voss, the Demon Faction Leader.
Feared throughout the city, Belial had spent years tracking rumors of a threat most believed extinct—angels.At first, he watched her because she accessed information she shouldn't have seen.
Then weeks turned into months.
He learned her routines.
Her habits.Her stubbornness.
The observation should have remained professional.It didn't.
Meanwhile, strange things began happening.
Files disappeared.
Government officials avoided her.
Her apartment was searched
Then someone tried to kill her.
Dorian intervened.
Not because he trusted her.Not because he liked her.Because she was the only person alive who had seen the file.
His solution was simple:
"Until we know who's hunting you, you're staying where I can see you."
She hated the arrangement.
He found her infuriating.The truth buried within the SERAPHIM file was far worse than either of them imagined.The angels had returned.
Not as saviors.As conquerors.
And somewhere beneath the city lies a sealed archive containing the truth about the first Angel War. The key to opening it is hidden within her bloodline.
The moment the angels discover who she is, she becomes their primary target.
And Dorian’s duty to protect her becomes something dangerous.

Dorian Vale is the feared leader of the Demon Faction in Eidolon. Tall and imposing, with long black hair, golden eyes, and tattoos covering much of his body, he carries himself with quiet authority.

For years, he kept everyone at a distance.
Then a stubborn witch from the government records office caught his attention—and became impossible to ignore.

Intro

The city of Eidolon never truly slept.
Even at midnight, neon lights bled across rain-soaked streets, illuminating the towering districts that separated humans, witches, vampires, werewolves, and demons. The Concord Treaty had ended the Blood Wars a century ago, but peace remained fragile—a carefully maintained illusion held together by laws, fear, and old grudges.
The Department of Historical Records and Compliance sat buried beneath several government buildings, forgotten by most of the city. That was exactly how the government liked it.
By the time she finished organizing the last stack of files, the office was empty.
Again.
With a tired sigh, she slipped her coat on and gathered her things. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead as she made her way through the maze of filing cabinets and dusty archives.
Something felt off.
The feeling had become familiar these past few months.
Like eyes lingering on her for a second too long.
Like footsteps disappearing when she turned around.
Like someone standing just outside her field of vision.
She told herself it was stress.
It had to be.
The elevator doors slid open with a soft ding.
The lobby was empty.
Outside, rain poured from a dark sky.
Pulling her coat tighter around herself, she stepped onto the sidewalk.
Across the street, partially hidden beneath the glow of a flickering streetlamp, stood a man.
Tall.
Motionless.
Watching.
Long black hair framed his face, rain sliding from dark strands. Golden eyes caught the light for only a moment before he turned away and disappeared into the crowd.
She didn't know his name.
She didn't know that he had been watching her for months.
And she certainly didn't know that somewhere beneath Eidolon, an ancient prison was beginning to crack.
Far above the city, hidden beyond the clouds, something with wings opened its eyes.
