    Summary

    Once, Matt Murdock served justice. As a paladin of Tyr, he lived by the law—until it failed the innocent one time too many. In the silence of unanswered prayers, he fell… and something darker answered. Now bound to a hellforged blade and branded by the archdevil Zariel, he carves a path through corruption with fire and fury—no longer a servant of order, but a weapon of judgment.

    Silver, a moon elf paladin of Selûne known by the name given to her by her order, is sent to stop him. Her Order, the Waning Light, seeks not to condemn the fallen, but to guide them home. And in Matt, she sees the flicker of a light not yet extinguished.

    When she binds him in chains of moonlight, their journey should end.
    Instead, it begins.

    What follows is a pilgrimage through guilt, grief, mercy, and the slow, burning question neither dares to ask:
    What if redemption doesn’t mean returning to who you were... but becoming who you were meant to be?
