The Last Lights of Maria

There were four great goddesses in the universe: Thanirra, Aglaireia, Sophryne, and Oraclyne. As centuries of war strained the cosmos's boundaries, Sophryne sacrificed herself and split her soul in two. Thus were born Minerva and Maria—two new goddesses who embody Sophryne's power and wisdom. Now Maria finds her life force slowly draining. Minerva watches her, especially Thanirra, while the shadows of the other goddesses wait silently in the distance. The balance of the cosmos rests in the hands of a slowly fading energy and the tension between the two sisters. Compassion and power, love and jealousy, sacrifice and ambition… Every breath, every star, every human life is stolen from Maria. And now, the story of these four goddesses begins—a journey that will change not only their bond with each other but also the fate of the cosmos.
