Synopsis
She doesn’t remember the fire. But it remembers her. Niah Esme Viremont lives a quiet life in the fog-shrouded town of Eldermere, surrounded by dusty books and the hushed silence of forgotten stories. But when shadows begin to whisper her name and a stranger with storm-grey eyes walks into her life, carrying secrets that feel older than time, everything starts to unravel. Drawn into a world where memories burn and promises echo through centuries, Niah discovers that the line between love and fate is thinner than the veil itself. He calls her by a name she’s never heard. He looks at her like she’s the only flame left in a dying world. And as desire and danger intertwine, Niah must face the truth buried within her soul, that some embers never die, and some names are never truly forgotten. Because when the veil tears… Love and ruin will rise together.

Chapter 1 - Prologue

The Veil was never meant to be torn. But all things fray—

Even the fabric between life and dream.

Before the world cracked open, there were watchers. Sentinels stitched from aether and oath.

A Trickster with starlight in his veins.

A Flame bearer who remembered too much.

A creature born of ash and shadow who never should have survived. They were gods once. Or close enough to pretend.

But pretending doesn't stop the fall. The Veil remembers.

Even when it's chosen, forget.

And now… something ancient wakes in the bones of a girl who doesn't yet remember her name.

The threads of fate are trembling. The embers are stirring.

And the ones who broke the world once, Maybe the only ones who can mend it.

Or burn it to ash.
