Reborn in Ash and Light: Book One of the Celestial Twins

In the final moments of their lives, Arthur—a hardened law enforcer—and Morgan—a fearless firefighter—make the ultimate sacrifice for others. But death is not their end. In a realm beyond life, they are offered a second chance by celestial beings from another world—a world in desperate need of heroes. With five wishes each and the power to create their own race, they are reborn into a land where magic pulses through the air like breath and every element holds ancient secrets. Reborn as Lucian and Laila, twin siblings born to a loving family in a humble village, they awaken in their new infant bodies with full memories of their past lives—and the wisdom that comes with them. From the very beginning, they are no ordinary children. Even in their first week of life, they begin developing powerful breathing techniques: Solar for Lucian, brimming with radiant energy and aggressive potential; Lunar for Laila, a serene and fluid rhythm drawing strength from stillness and clarity. As they grow in a magical world shaped by elemental forces and ancient bloodlines, the twins must navigate family bonds, village life, and the deeper call of destiny. They are not just children—they are the seeds of a new race, chosen to reshape the balance of power in a world teetering on the edge of chaos. But the world they now inhabit is vast and full of unknown dangers—arcane cults, warring kingdoms, forgotten gods, and ancient prophecies. Their gifts are both a blessing and a beacon, drawing the attention of beings far beyond mortal comprehension. Together, Lucian and Laila will rise—sun and moon, fire and shadow—shaping the fate of a world that has long waited for champions born not of its soil, but of stars.
