Beloved Rapture

Johan, an introverted young man from the countryside, finds himself thrown into a conflict beyond his comprehension. The Ascendants—-an enigmatic & cultish militia—move ever closer to his mountainous hometown. Now faced with a threat to his once-carefree way of life, Johan must contemplate the role he is destined to play in their escalating conflict. At his side are Aiden, the mysterious son of an exiled warrior, who has trained since childhood in the mystic arts; and Crysta, a runaway noblewoman intent on ending the war before it reaches her family. Through this journey, Johan confronts the ghosts of his family trauma, his sexuality, and ultimately his own demons.
