He never said 'I love you'. He simply set the world on fire and hoped she'd recognize the handwriting. Sylas is the world's favorite romantic lead. Ivanaga is a woman who doesn't exist. He lives beneath cameras, interviews, and a carefully manufactured image. She lives in shadows, secrets, and exits planned long before she enters a room. They should never have met. But some people don't fall in love. Some people collide. What begins as fascination becomes obsession. What should have been temporary becomes impossible to escape. Every encounter leaves bruises neither of them discuss. Every goodbye feels suspiciously final. Every return feels inevitable. Sylas wants the truth behind the woman who keeps disappearing. She wants to keep him far away from the darkness that follows her. Neither succeeds. Because love was never the danger. Recognition was. And there is nothing more terrifying than being truly seen. Set against a world of old money, buried secrets, black roses, and beautiful disasters, Until the World Turns to Ash is a dark romance about two lonely people who become each other's favorite form of destruction. Technically strangers. Spiritually, a natural disaster.
