He refused to die. So she pulled him from the water. Aether wakes up in a room that feels wrong. The condensation on his window moves sideways. The air tastes like metal. And something is crawling through the glass. Before he can escape, he's thrown into a nightmare - a hallway that breathes, a creature that learns, a fall that never ends. And at the bottom of it all, an ocean that shouldn't exist. That's where he meets her. She doesn't have a name. She doesn't need one. She is the Silence - the oldest thing to crawl through the Crack between worlds. She has watched civilizations burn. She has eaten gods. And she has never, not once, asked to be remembered. Until him. Aether doesn't know why he's different. He only knows that she's letting him live. For now. But the door back to his world only opens one way. Through her. Serah is a dark fantasy about survival, obsession, and the space between death and becoming. It asks the question that has no right answer: can you love someone knowing they will destroy everything - and love them anyway? For readers who want their monsters beautiful, their choices impossible, and their love stories sharp enough to draw blood.
