Some doors should never be opened. Some voices should never be heard. Elara Rook has always been haunted—by whispers in the dark, by fleeting shadows, by the unsettling feeling that she doesn’t belong to just one world.

A scream that echoes through time. A warning buried beneath the house’s rotting bones. As Elara digs deeper, she realizes she’s not just an observer—she’s a key. And something, or someone, is waiting for her to open the final door. Somewhere beyond the veil, the dead are watching. And they are whispering her name.

When something is filled to the brim, it is common knowledge that it has hit its capacity – nothing else can go in without the risk of overflowing. But that's not the case for celestial beings, who have nothing inside them but greed for power and fame amongst themselves. So, this brings the question... What happens when your own God gets greedy? What happens, when the one you pray to every night... betrays you, and your world? A young man living in Seattle found himself asking this very question when he was abruptly thrown into a strange mix of strangers – a place which, frankly, he didn't belong to. Can he even begin to compare to these beasts, or will he remain weak and frail, like a worthless background character? Will he ever be able to catch up to the main characters? This is the story of that man... and his will to defy the expectations.

More than any dagger, treachery tears. Once the respected Commander of the High Guard, Arden Solis knew devotion like a second skin until the day it was torn away. Driven from the one home they have ever known, Arden follows those she once guarded, accused for treason and thrown into exile. The Council chose earlier its scapegoat. Arden is portrayed as the orchestrator of a horrible attack on Eldermire using fake documents, false witnesses, and carefully thought out conspiracies—forgotten proof. Still, the real genius lurks in the background and pulls strings from the highest degrees of power. Arden is left without direction, hence he creates a strained relationship with Kellan Veylan—the only person who understands the depths of the dishonesty but also the one who may have begun it. Their shared history twists in love and heartbreak, trust and deceit. Kellan says he is innocent, having been put up just as Arden was. Arden could, however, believe him or is this another game of dishonesty? As they find the truth, the two fugitives are trapped in an ancient prophecy—one that outlines a cycle of betrayal spun directly into the fabric of Fate. Two betrayers, one designed to rise and the other punished to fall. Eldermire's deadliest danger is not the one they expected; the more he investigates deeper Arden finds: The debate really goes beyond simple fairness. It goes for override of Fate itself. Arden now needs to choose whether to fight for vengeance or flee the fate destined to catastrophe. But for those who dare question Fate, she has never been kind. In a world where trust is a luxury and betrayal is inherent, how one might escape a destiny already written in blood?
