Aglow Book 1
"To kill a monster… must we ourselves become one?"
For generations, the Rorren family upheld the magical barriers that protected the city of Thornstead from the creatures that lurk beyond the forest. Until one heir refused.
When the family was destroyed in a single night of fire and blood, legend claimed the Rorrens had abandoned their duty...and Thornstead was left to burn.
Years later, Lila, a young mage raised on her grandmother’s creed of peace, inherits the burden of maintaining the barriers. But when she is ambushed in the woods, Lila is saved by a mysterious stranger: Elion, master of a decaying manor hidden in the forest.
Wounded and unable to leave, Lila finds herself drawn to her enigmatic host. Each night he listens to her stories, and a fragile bond blossoms into something more. Yet the manor holds secrets, and Elion himself seems bound by them.
Torn between love and duty, Lila must decide: will she protect her people, even if it means breaking her grandmother’s vow and becoming the very thing she fears most?
Aglow is a gothic fantasy anime graphic novel about legacy, where love and betrayal awaken not just the monsters outside, but the ones within.
