She is a slave who was confined to a life of abuse and placed on the sacrificial altar due to her striking physical resemblance to the high priestess, being cruelly used as her body double. What she never expected was that the very son of the Sun God would end up saving her from the flames.
He is a demigod, son of the great Sun God, from whom he inherited nearly his entire arsenal of destructive powers, earning the respect and fear of many in the divine realm. Oratio is an apathetic being, completely disillusioned with humanity and bored of receiving constant sacrifices from mortals in his name.
Radiana was born to die. Kept as a hidden slave and confined to a life of abuse, her entire existence was merely a countdown to the day of sacrifice. Because of her striking physical resemblance to the high priestess, she is cruelly betrayed, used as a body double, and forced onto the altar as a human tribute to the sun god. Just as she faces being burned alive in the flames, Prince Oratio watches her desperate struggle from the heavens. Oratio is the disillusioned son of the sun god, an apathetic demi-god who possesses the terrifying ability to read minds and burn anyone who dares to look into his eyes.
Intrigued by her raw will to live and shocked that this mortal can meet his deadly gaze without bursting into flames, Oratio swoops down and rescues her from the burning altar. He spirits Radiana away to his magnificent palace in the divine realm, offering her survival on one condition: she must spend a passionate night in his arms. However, the arrogant deity quickly realizes that the spirited Radiana would honestly rather die than go to his bed voluntarily. Having endured a lifetime of neglect and abuse while the gods remained silent, she harbors a deep resentment toward divinity, setting off a dangerous game of wills, court conspiracies, and a forbidden romance as external enemies scheme to tear them apart.
