The First Descent
OUR WATCHERS — THE FIRST DESCENT
(Book One of The Legend of the Watchers)
Before mankind opened its eyes, Heaven was already shifting.
At the dawn of creation, the Hosts moved in perfect harmony, until the Morning Star, Helel, began to turn inward. His brilliance, once offered freely to the Eternal Light, bends toward itself, and a quiet dissonance ripples across the heavens. This first fracture marks the beginning of an ancient conflict whose echoes will reach far beyond Heaven.
Among those who sense the change are the Watchers, celestial beings appointed only to observe the early world below. Made to notice what others overlook, they witness the shift in Helel long before the Hosts speak of it. Yet as his light falters, their own gaze begins to drift, from the heights of Heaven to the unfolding story of humankind.
Sent merely to watch, the Watchers gather in secret, speaking of guidance, protection, and purpose. But their growing fascination with Earth—and those who dwell upon it—raises a dangerous question:
What happens when angels long for a world they were never meant to touch?
Among them stands Semyaza, a leader steady in duty yet troubled by a pull he cannot name. A single moment of compassion opens a path he never intended to walk, and each step brings him further from the certainty he once knew. As Heaven strains above and the Watchers linger too long below, the balance of creation tilts.
Curiosity becomes tension.
Tension becomes choice.
And choice becomes the beginning of a story no realm is prepared to bear.
Our Watchers — The First Descent blends angelic fantasy, mythic worldbuilding, divine politics, and forbidden desire into a sweeping reimagining of creation’s earliest days. Seen through the eyes of those who fell, this tale deepens the ancient lore of the Watchers and traces how quiet wonder becomes longing—and how longing can alter the fate of both Heaven and Earth.
It asks what becomes of creation when angels step beyond the bounds of Light.
Perfect for readers who enjoy romantasy, fantasy, fallen angels, slow-burn intrigue, ancient mysteries, and mythic epic sagas.
The journey continues in Book II: The Age of the Fallen Seed, as the consequences of the Watchers’ first choices begin to unfold across a world forever changed.
