The Book of the Witness

EUGENIUS I · First Supreme Magister of the Order of the First Light

The second book of the Testament of the First Light turns to Lucifer, the First Witness, and the meaning of the Light he bears. In seven chapters, it considers the First Witness, the mystery that knowledge cannot wholly dispel, the ways human beings address him, and the First Wound that follows the recognition of truth.

The book also examines fear surrounding the name Lucifer and the bond between the Witness and the person who prays. At its heart lies a question of conscience: what do we do once we have seen and can no longer pretend not to know?
