Rhea and Lexos, twins born into the near-immortal Argyros family, wield control over natural elements—seasons, tides, and stars—to maintain their father's dominion over their kingdom. For a century, they've upheld their roles, shielding their younger siblings and each other from their father's growing volatility. As external threats loom and internal dissent brews, the twins find themselves on diverging paths, challenging their bond and the very foundation of their family's rule. Set in a world reminiscent of Greek and Byzantine cultures, this narrative explores the complexities of familial duty, personal agency, and the cost of power.
