Elysia Threnody has spent her life protecting her siblings, hiding from a home filled with fear and chaos, and carrying burdens no one should bear. Every day is a test of survival, every night a battle to stay one step ahead of the dangers around her. Kai Bennet has learned to lead, to perform, and to keep up appearances... but even he can't control everything. When he notices Elysia, he sees strength, fragility, and a life he can't fully understand. In a world where safety is fragile and trust is rare, both will discover that surviving isn't enough...and that some connections can change everything. "Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space." - Interstellar banners by: @fawnslvr // @viperluvv

Matthias never planned to see the next morning. Standing alone on a bridge, he was ready to let the darkness take him, until a stranger pulled him back and offered him food instead. Julian didn't ask for explanations. He didn't judge. He just stayed. What begins as a single night of unexpected kindness slowly turns into something neither of them expected, a fragile connection between two people carrying very different wounds. But healing isn't simple. Not when faith feels heavier than love. Not when family expectations suffocate. Sometimes, surviving is harder than disappearing. And sometimes, choosing to live is the bravest thing a person can do

In Arcem, your blood determines everything. Who you lead. Who you serve. Who you become. Lior has always known what he is - a Donum, born to be chosen, trained to be wanted, kept alive to be useful. He was never meant to matter. Never meant to think. Never meant to walk into the most powerful House in the world and make its heir forget how to breathe. Kael Von Cael doesn't feel. Feeling is weakness. His father made sure he understood that. But Lior is not a weakness. He is something far more dangerous. A thousand years ago, the Noctum erased half of humanity. The world that survived was built on order, on blood, on the certainty that what was lost could never return. Certainty is a lie people tell themselves when they're afraid of the truth. Something is buried in the blood. It was never meant to wake up. The brightest light casts the darkest lie.
