The Aurora Priest
by breathlessduva11
5.9kWhen the Aurora Veil tears across the night sky above Virelia painter Alexandra Duvall believes she's witnessing a miracle. But the ethereal light awakens something far more dangerous—both in the cosmos and within herself. Drawn to the city's Observatory Alexandra encounters Professor Elias Thorne whose storm-carved features and grave eyes hint at secrets darker than the void between stars. As their obsessive romance unfolds Alexandra's paintings begin exhibiting impossible geometries whispering in ancient tongues she's never heard. What she mistakes for enlightenment may be corruption. What feels like love could be the vessel for humanity's destruction. In this haunting tale of cosmic horror and forbidden desire the price of seeing too much might be everything—including her soul.
