Ailith never planned to disappear-until running became her only escape. With a heart bruised by promises that turned into wounds, she leaves behind the people she once loved more than herself, hoping the distance will finally silence the pain she's been carrying for far too long. All she wants is a life where she isn't drowning.. a place where she doesn't have to pretend she's strong when she's breaking. Then there's Finn-steady, untouchable, and unshakably unyielding. A man who sees the world as a series of battles meant to be faced, not feared. He's the kind of person who protects others even when he can't protect himself, the type who shields fragile souls from storms they can no longer survive. So what happens when a shattered, unguarded soul collides with a soul built from walls thicker than steel? When a runaway girl crosses paths with the man who refuses to let her fall again? Two broken worlds. One dangerous connection. And a story that begins the moment their pain recognizes each other.
