The Dawnflower and the Rose

When faith collides with conviction, beauty itself becomes the battlefield.

In Mendev, General Philippe Ambrose—devout champion of Sarenrae—marches to purge the land of demonic corruption. His mission is clear: destroy the heretic Magus Izac before his dark experiments consume the realm. But when his pursuit leads him to the Grand Codex Library, a sanctuary tended by the devotees of Shelyn, Philippe finds an unexpected obstacle—his old friend, Hierophant Alexis Sharp.

To Alexis, the library is sacred ground, a place where art, music, and knowledge are preserved against the ravages of war. To Philippe, it is a den harboring a monster. As divine zeal and sacred duty come to a tragic impasse, the two friends—each convinced they serves the true light—must face the shattering cost of their faith.

The Dawnflower and the Rose is a tale of devotion and ruin, where gods demand beauty, mercy, and blood in equal measure.
