Legacy VI: Raith and the Celestial Council

Before the six, there was one.
Raith is the strongest guardian the cosmos has ever known. Born from the collision of a dying star and a black hole, he trained for centuries among celestial beings and rose to lead the Cosmic Twelve, sworn to hold the balance between creation and destruction. He heals dying stars, defeats monsters no one else can face, and answers to no one’s methods but his own.
But something is unmaking worlds.
Planets are falling silent, entire populations vanishing without a trace, and every monster Raith defeats seems to leave behind ruin it couldn’t have caused. As the evidence mounts, the Celestial Council turns against him and orders him to stand down. Raith refuses. Haunted by a love he lost long ago and certain that a hidden enemy is watching from the shadows, he makes a secret choice that will echo across generations.
He doesn’t yet know the name of the darkness hunting him. But it knows his.
The opening chapter of Legacy VI, a mature, character-driven superhero saga about family, legacy, and the cost of power.
