When Lysander Whitlock is bound to Conduit 23—a weapon older than the war itself—he begins to dream.

The dreams are not just visions. They’re memories of a frozen kingdom and a woman’s voice whispering through the dark, calling to him from beneath the ice. Each night, they grow stronger. Each day, the conduit’s power seeps deeper into his veins.

As the Slayer Corps tightens its hold and war looms ever closer, Lysander is forced to confront an impossible truth: the power inside the conduit isn’t just alive—it’s waiting.

Lucifer’s Rose is a dark fantasy about love and ruin, the weight of power, and the haunting beauty found within the cold.
