Alaric, Paladin of Solaris

I was sent to kill her… but I submitted to her instead.

The GodKing ordered me to slay the sorceress Sylvanna and retrieve the Heart of the Eclipse—a legendary artifact said to shape fate itself.

Failure was not an option.

But when I found her, her Shadow Magic overwhelmed my Celestial Light. I alone bear the Holy Fire, yet I was powerless against her.

She offered me a deal: take her Oath of Submission and serve her for a time, and she would grant me a chance at the Heart.

I had no choice but to obey.

I never expected to crave it.

Sylvanna,...

Sylvanna, Sorceress of Nocturna

He came to destroy me. Now he is mine. Shadowbound.

I knew the Paladin was coming to kill me. I didn’t expect him to kneel.

Alaric is strong enough to snap me in half… but instead, he begs to serve, to please, to taste. He burns with Light, but his soul hungers for Shadow—and for me.

Training him is a pleasure. Keeping him is a temptation.

But our bond will be tested. To reclaim the Heart of the Eclipse, we must travel to the City of Night and face Kraven—my treacherous former Blood-Partner.

If we fail, our kingdoms will fall.

If we succeed… the magic awakening inside my Paladin may change everything.
