   Summary

   -- tags will probably change in the future! --

   Coen knows what a monster is.
   They drink your blood and call it mass, threaten your family and call it mercy, make you kneel and call it salvation.

   Then Coen becomes one of them.

   Caught between the family he is desperate to protect, a lifetime spent carrying more than anyone thought to ask if he could bear, and the uncomfortable question of what becoming a monster means for his soul, Coen has little room left for questions he would rather not ask. Least of all the ones surrounding Ambrus: a boyar he has every reason to hate, every reason to distrust, and who keeps appearing as both enemy and ally.

   A canon-adjacent retelling of Coen and Ambrus’ story, exploring family trauma, emotional struggle, self-sacrifice, romance, faith, monstrosity, and the difficult intimacy of being known.
