Infos

Two empires locked in an eternal twilight. One bathed in the golden light of an unmoving sun, the other cloaked in the silver luminescence of a perpetual moon.  For generations, the Luminary Empire has championed logic and science, their quartz cities gleaming beneath Solara's gaze. But an ancient prophecy haunts them: should the eclipse ever end, their world will unravel.  Meanwhile, the Umbra Empire flourishes in Lunara's hushed twilight, their obsidian cities whispering secrets of shadow and ancient ritual.  Between them lies the Gloaming, a volatile frontier of perpetual sunset, now breeding a new horror: the Gloomborn, creatures of both light and darkness, consuming the very essence of their world.
Anya Lawson, the Sun Empress, a pragmatist burdened by the weight of her empire, finds her convictions shattered as the Gloomborn threat escalates.  Her advisor, Kyle Rivas, tormented by visions of a cosmic entity known as the Eclipse Eater, urges an unthinkable alliance with the Umbra - a people their society has long scorned.  Across the divide, Diana Schneider, the Shadow Weaver, rules the Umbra with ethereal grace, seeing the Gloomborn not as monsters, but as symptoms of a disrupted cosmic balance.  Her son, Jonathan, however, harbors a secret fascination with the Luminary's forbidden knowledge, yearning for a universe beyond the eclipse his mother dismisses as illusion.
When Kyle arrives in the Umbra Empire seeking an alliance, he finds an unexpected kindred spirit in Jonathan.  Both yearn for understanding in a world defined by shadows and secrets.  As the Gloomborn advance, driven by the insatiable hunger of the Eclipse Eater, their quest for knowledge becomes a desperate race against time. The eclipse, they discover, is not a natural phenomenon but a cosmic lock, and the Eclipse Eater, a twisted guardian seeking to restore a 'natural' order that will annihilate everything.
Anya and Diana, facing cosmic annihilation, must forge a pact that defies generations of prejudice. Can they unite their empires against a threat that whispers at the edges of reality? Kyle and Jonathan, navigating treacherous political landscapes and their own internal struggles, uncover a hidden truth about the Eclipse Eater.  Their shared quest for understanding becomes a fight not just for their world, but for the preservation of existence itself. As light clashes with shadow, science with magic, and hope battles despair, the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Will their fragile alliance be enough to withstand the coming storm, or will the eclipse finally end, unleashing a cataclysm beyond comprehension?
