He later finds himself in an unfortunate situation where the world begins to unfold itself before him and his friends, leading to one inescapable realization: War is inevitable.

“In an age where knowledge cuts deeper than knives, Victoria is about to learn far more than is safe for any soul to bear.” Victoria and Robert were torn from the gentle dullness of their ordinary century and cast into a realm governed by proto-concepts—those ancient, unblinking truths from which life, death, and divinity themselves are carved. Proclaimed “Heroes” by a world too desperate to question its own choices, they were commanded to rise in strength, confront a Demon Lord, and deliver salvation to a land that had never been theirs. Robert donned the mantle with the fervour of a man stepping into destiny. Victoria… hesitated. And in that hesitation, something old—older than scripture, older than light—turned its gaze toward her. She felt its attention like a draft through a locked room. In a moment poised between terror and terrible understanding, she accepted its offer: a contract sealed in silence, a year of her life exchanged for a thing that should never have been permitted to exist. Not in this world. Not in any. She did not yet grasp that, in straying from the Hero’s ordained path, she had not merely shifted her fate— she had begun to unwrite the very scaffolding of her humanity. Now Victoria walks like a phantom through a world that has marched on without her— one year behind the celebrated Hero, yet burdened with an insight so sharp it threatens to cut her free from mortality itself. She can now trespass upon knowledge forbidden to scholars, sorcerers, or even those who stand at the pinnacle of human mastery. She commits the kind of acts whispered only of beings who have stepped beyond the human threshold… and never returned. And in a world built on primordial, immovable truths, one truth endures: Knowledge is power. But power, when mishandled, becomes a curse that devours its bearer— quietly, inevitably, like rot beneath embroidered silk.

They killed her twin. They should’ve killed her too. When seventeen year old Aldo Carvalho is murdered, his last frantic phone call to his sister threatens the century old peaceful treaty between werewolves and humans in Sao Paulo. The suspects? The untouchable sons of the city’s elite–the most powerful boys at Souza High. Reina Carvalho knows justice won’t come from a system built to protect the wealthy. It will come from her. Armed with rage and a disguise, she infiltrates their world–but her first attempt at vengeance fails spectacularly. As she gets closer to the heart of the conspiracy, alliances fracture, loyalties blur, and an unexpected connection forces her to question everything—including her own humanity. To avenge her brother, Reina must navigate a web of human corruption and ancient pack treaties, where every ally could be an enemy, and the boy she’s sworn to destroy might be the only one who knows what really happened that night. * “I’ll repeat myself, since you’ve suddenly gone deaf.” Reina stepped closer, her voice steady. “Fernando and I will be sweethearts if that's what it takes to get his confession. You don't get to decide who I spend time with.” “Continue this,” Ruiz’s eyes darkened, “and I’ll have you expelled. Your scholarship would be thrown in the trash along with your fine academic records. You’ll be gone before the first date.” The threat hung heavy between them. Reina knew he could do it–his family owned the school. But she refused to show weakness. Another daring step forward brought her close enough to catch the gold flecks in his eyes, the faint scent of his cologne. “You want to know something funny? I would've seduced you instead. But I already tried to kill you. You’d never believe I’d fallen for you.” Her gaze was ice. “So if you have me expelled, I’ll find Fernando. I’ll cry, act the victim, even endure his touch till he's helplessly, hopelessly, in love with me. And when he's mine, he’ll willingly confess every lie, every cover-up, every detail of what you all did to my brother.”
