Eclipsed by Shadows

In a kingdom built on light and lies, an angel was never meant to survive. Elmer, the fragile second prince of Celeniel, has spent his life believing he is a burden—too weak for the throne, too sickly for the world that worships purity above all else. Guarded by Rerir, the steadfast Knight of the Wind, Elmer clings to quiet moments of warmth in a palace that would rather forget him. But when the Church uncovers the truth hidden in Elmer’s blood—that he is half-angel, a living miracle whose awakening could shatter their power—they choose cruelty over faith. Betrayal, assassination, and suffering follow, forcing Elmer into a fate far darker than death. As lies unravel and the kingdom trembles, Elmer must decide whether to remain a sacrifice… or rise as something the world has never seen. A story of hidden divinity, slow-burning love, brotherhood, and rebellion against false holiness, The Angel’s Rumor is a tale about reclaiming one’s worth—and choosing to live, even when the world would rather you disappear.
