Rafael, god of storms, punishment, and the sin of Pride, has lived lifetimes haunted by the weight of his past.
He raised a son not born of his blood-Yellow, the abandoned child of Jay, his brother, his first love, and his greatest betrayal. Every burden Jay left behind, Rafael carried. Every scar, every secret, every unwanted child-he took them under his wings, unaware that every step he walked was still trapped beneath Jay's shadow.
Now Yellow dreams of a destiny written long before either of them existed:
seven gods, seven deadly sins, bound to gather at one table or watch the world fall to ruin.
To protect him, Rafael must lead gods he despises-beings who shatter every moral he clings to. And while he struggles to guide them, his greatest secret rises to the surface:
He is the reason they became sins at all.
Rafael carries another truth within his veins-
his blood, the only substance in existence capable of killing a god.
It cannot kill him, but every drop spilled becomes a weapon against immortality. From that blood he forged his own blade. And long ago, he gifted Jay a knife-an act that now cuts deeper than memory. Somewhere in the world, a forgotten vial of that blood has turned to acid, waiting to burn through everything it touches.
Amid battles, betrayals, and impossible choices, something unexpected begins to grow-love.
Winter, goddess of elements and the sin of Gluttony, once blinded by his blood, finds herself falling for the storm god she should fear. Rafael feels it too, yet pride and fear keep him from reaching out. For if she leaves, the wound she leaves behind may be one even storms cannot heal.
At his table sit the enemies closest to his heart:
Lucifer, the sin of Envy-an ex-god who betrayed his brothers and became Rafael's hated son-in-law.
Natas, god of the underworld, keeper of souls, and the sin of Wrath-who remembers every species Rafael made extinct, every god he slaughtered, every throne reshaped by Lucifer's blood.
To unite them is to face judgment from the very sins he created.
To fail is to watch the world collapse.
Can a god born of storms-cursed with pride, carrying blood that kills gods-truly lead the seven?
Or will the sins he created finally consume him?
