Ethan Lockwood lives in a world of glass towers and silent expectations—a heir to a ruthless empire, raised on discipline, forged in loneliness. Beneath his privilege lies a storm he cannot name, a hunger for meaning that wealth cannot satisfy. Across the ocean, Evelyn Fairchild walks in the warmth of old libraries and whispered dreams. Surrounded by loyalty and love, she carries her own ache—a yearning for answers that the world of books cannot give.
Neither knows they carry ancient power, split by a Rift that once shook the stars. One born of order, the other of chaos. Bound by fate, destined to either mend the balance or break the world apart.
As their lives collide, echoes of a forgotten war stir again. In the space between destiny and choice, light and shadow, Ethan and Evelyn must face what sleeps within them—and what awakens when they stand together. Or fall apart.
