Of Blood and Aether (Harbingers, #1)

by Harper Hawthorne

Over two centuries had passed since the first foretelling: that somewhere within the patrilinear bloodline of the ruling family of Hel, a savior would be born. A solution. A weapon.

“He who has been chosen, this star-split soul, shall be the Catalyst to this prophecy of mirrored fates. He is our reckoning. The other, our deliverance. Together, they are our salvation.”

“A Catalyst and a Conduit,” the others chanted. “All and none, all and one. Mirrors, my King. Mirrors. Not one Harbinger, but two—one yet to be reborn! Two fates entangled, another entwined. The Source, it gives and takes and gives and takes and gives and takes. They are life and death. They are the cycle, preserved. They are vengeance and mercy, incarnate.”
