A PROPHECY OF FLOWERS AND LIGHTNING - MICHAEL FERGUSON

"I would rather die at your side than watch the world burn from inside your embrace."

In a world of gods and monsters, a prophecy is made, a war is waged, and a legend is born.

Cursed from birth by the gods with the power of foresight, Cadence is ostracised. Hated by his father, berated by his brothers, and shunned by his community, Cadence leads a lonely existence.

Destinies collide when Cadence meets Arlo, the demigod prince of the Luciferian Empire, and the two have no idea how deeply connected they really are by the Great Cosmic Web of the Fates. A friendship quickly blooms into something more as the two youths navigate the worlds of duty and their emotions together.

The Empire of Luciferian is ruled over by the iron first of the power-hungry Emperor Abydos, and by his side is Arsinoe, mysterious sorceress and Empress of the Luciferian. In his never-ending quest to dominate, he awakens a dark force that will bring famine, war, and ultimate devastation to the Empire.

Arlo and Cadence have an integral role to play in the war to come, one in which their combined demise has been prophesied. Can Cadence and Arlo break the web the Fates have woven for them, or will they become entangled by it?
