BloodLight

God is going mad. Creation calls two witnesses.

One story is his. He believes he is losing his mind. The other is hers. She believes she is saving Reality. Set side by side, each story reads like the other's reflection.

BloodLight: Expanded Edition binds both testimonies into a single volume—each told whole.

In BloodLight, Robert Goldner still remembers when he was five and his mother spilled her confession along with her wine: he was unwanted, unplanned, the ruin of her life. Now sixteen, he has built a life designed to disprove it—top grades, a varsity singlet, a first love kept secret and kept safe. Then a Valentine's Eve party rearranges the terms of belief. The ordinary world begins shedding its skin, and Robert must sort revelation from madness before somebody else's scripture finishes rewriting him. Body first.

In Lilith's Arithmetic, Artemisia Wright remembers a gospel no church was built to hold. Inside a private clinic, a chamber like a half-buried silver skull stages her "bloodlight plays"—rehearsal realities in which she hunts and kills the same teenager, over and over, while a man calling himself God's metaphysician patches each session out of her mind. She is Lilith's heir and Lilith's blade. Or she is somebody's experiment. Escape will not settle the question. It will only make the rehearsal real.

Read in either order, the testimonies converge on the same catastrophe. His madness is her revelation. Only one side of the mirror can be right.

BloodLight: Expanded Edition is the complete origin point of Eve of Light—Dark Metaphysical Fantasy told from both sides of the mirror.
