A Desolate Swan Lake

In a realm where gods are bound by a golden rule that allows them to love only one of their kind in a lifetime, Artes has already experienced the depths of loss, having lost his one true love. His path crosses with a young Liam, and though their initial encounter is brief, it sows a seed in Liam's heart that blossoms into love when they meet again years later. However, the gods' unyielding law dictates that Artes cannot reciprocate Liam's feelings, for to do so would invite death. Torn between his heart and the danger of defiance, Artes finds himself irresistibly drawn to Liam, forcing him to confront an impossible choice: his love or his life.
