In the Meridian Pact of Virelya, knowledge is light, and light is a weapon. Beneath gilded temples and radiant spires lies a fractured land haunted by mirrored timelines, soul-splintering wells, and anomalies that defy reason. The Radiant Concord preaches salvation through divine convergence, yet a new corruption seeps through its golden scripture-heretical echoes, cursed orchards, and whispers from forgotten realms beyond the Fold. When a catastrophic rift breaches near the Grieving Sky Choir, the Hollow Concordant deploys its cloaked front, Guild of the Inward Lantern, along with their elite strike force, Prism Veil. But the veil between realities has thinned far too much.

As she allies with exiled monks, rogue Fold-mages from the Valthen Meridian School, and a cynical operative of the SAU, she must navigate conspiracies etched across blood and glass. The deeper she journeys through the Bone Orchard, the Foldglass Briar, and the perilous Labyrinth of Thorns, the more she learns: the anomaly is not growing-it's remembering. And it remembers her. As gods fracture and realms collide, the Meridian Pact teeters on the brink of echo-collapse. A final convergence is coming-not divine, but catastrophic. In a war between belief, memory, and identity, what survives when even reality is a lie?
