Hindi ko kailanman hiniling na buhatin niya ako. Hindi ko sinabing saluhin niya ang lahat ng bigat ko, ang bawat gabi ng pagod, ang mga luha at takot na ako mismo ay hindi kayang pangalanan, nandoon siya... palagi. Sa tuwing guguho ako, siya ang nananatiling nakatayo, pilit akong hinahawakan na parang takot siyang tuluyang mawala ako kapag binitawan niya. Sa bawat pagkakataong sinasabi niyang ayos lang siya, mas lalo akong umaasa. Mas lalo akong kumakapit. Hindi ko napansin kung paanong sa bawat pagbuo niya sa akin, may mga bahagi ng sarili niyang unti-unting nawawala. Hindi ko alam kung kailan naging kasalanan ang maging mahina. Hindi ko alam kung kailan naging sobra ang paghingi ng pag-unawa. Ang alam ko lang, may mga pagmamahal na tahimik pero mabigat, at may mga taong marunong magmahal sa paraang inuubos na nila ang sarili nila. At kahit ginawa niya ang lahat, kahit pilit niyang binuo ang mga basag kong piraso, kahit nauubos na rin siya, walang nagbago. Hindi ko pa rin kayang manatili sa tabi niya, kahit mahal ko, kahit totoo. Dahil sa huli, ako pa rin ang talo.

She was once just an ordinary doctor, living a quiet life with unspoken dreams. One reckless wish to the wishing machine was all it took-she wished for wealth. Instead, she woke up inside her favorite novel, White Swan of the Palace. Not as the beloved heroine. But as the villainess. Rich, powerful, breathtakingly beautiful-and fated to die. This time, she refuses to follow the script. Knowing the prince will one day betray and kill her, she turns away from her destined ruin and chooses the duke instead-the man who cherishes her, protects her, and loves her without conditions. In a story where her death is already written, she will rewrite her fate... even if the world itself tries to stop her.

Five ordinary mortals. Five ancient Sovereigns. One world on the brink of silence. In the Great Hall of Aetheria, the elemental Supremes preside over a world they are forbidden to touch.

Kaelen, a scarred former firefighter; Sana, a weary teacher; Marina, a disgraced diver; Elara, a mute librarian; and Jarek, a lonely navigator-are summoned to the heavens. They are not heroes; they are vessels. But as they learn to wield the fire, the tide, and the earth, they discover that the Goddesses are hiding a secret older than time itself. From the glorious battles of the Great War to the gritty, shadow-infested ruins of the aftermath, follow a story of sacrifice and defiance. In a world where the gods are fading into the elements, humanity must learn the ultimate truth: Growth is never a race, but survival is.
