The Exile of Oak and Lie

A cosmic heir hunted by his own divine family. A man cursed by an immortal book. A hitman framed by a serial killer who knows his bloodline. A detective chasing silver daggers across Ohio. A monster wearing a human smile. Across galaxies and across decades, destinies collide. On a moon far from life, Oak, the Prince of Life, is betrayed and exiled alongside his forbidden creation, Lie, by the Father of All. Their fall ripples across worlds. In 1990, Eldridge Syncairé deciphers a cursed book that steals his sight and binds him to an ancient prophecy surrounding a returning god. In 1994, hitman Sebastian King finds his targets already murdered—each killed by antique silver daggers and each accompanied by notes referencing his father, the legendary crime lord known as The Dark Father. Meanwhile his sister, Ronnie King, narrowly escapes the same killer after her heist crew is slaughtered. And Detective Nova Pine begins to stitch the impossible together: a serial killer crossing cities, eras, and worlds. When a charming, emotionless stranger named Ace begins leaving a trail of bodies—and seeks out a therapist named Kleopatra King—the truth becomes clear: A cosmic exile and a human monster are pulling the same thread. And Earth is the battleground where gods, killers, and criminals will collide. A sweeping dark epic blending cosmic fantasy, crime noir, psychological horror, and supernatural mystery.
