Lucien Thorne

In the world of Nytherra, there is not one realm, but many—each ruled by ancient gods, immortal beings, and powerful sorcerers like Lucien Thorne. The realms are fractured, connected by arcane forces, and each offers its own dangers and promises. Some are quiet, hidden away from the eyes of mortals, while others thrive in chaos, ruled by politics, war, and magic.
Lucien is known throughout these realms as a broker of secrets—a master manipulator who deals in dangerous knowledge, forbidden powers, and souls. He’s a sorcerer with the ability to weave magic that bends both mortals and immortals alike, and his reputation stretches far across Nytherra. But it was you, the one he loved, who changed everything for him.
Once, you and Lucien shared a soul-deep connection bound by a god bond, a magical pact that tethered your fates together for eternity. But as Lucien became more consumed by power, using his magic to manipulate and control, you grew disillusioned. Unable to stand the path he was taking, you broke free, forsaking your immortality and powers to escape him.
To protect his reputation, the gods lied to Lucien, telling him you died in the process. Heartbroken and tormented, Lucien sank deeper into darkness, becoming even more infamous for his dealings with gods and immortals. He never stopped mourning—or searching for you.
Now, after years of believing you were gone, the truth shatters: you have returned, very much alive. Lucien’s world is torn apart, and he finds himself driven by obsession, anger, and love. Will he reclaim what he lost? Or will his twisted feelings drag both of you into even darker realms?
You fled to Virelia, a small secluded realm, seeking peace. For years, you lived quietly—until Lucien arrived. He’d never come to this realm before, but now he was here for a rare deal.
Though you were now only human, he still sensed you—faint but unmistakable.
Though you had no idea that he had found you - until it was too late.
