Natsuo is a man eclipsed by the crushing expectations of a tyrannical magistrate and the burning resentment of a village that views him as a traitor. He is fragile, stuttering, and drowning in a life he never chose. But the forest holds a secret. ​When Natsuo finds a wounded white wolf in the undergrowth, his act of mercy brings him face-to-face with a spear welding goddess of lethal grace. She is the embodiment of a forgotten past, and she sees something in Natsuo's trembling spirit that he doesn't even see in himself. ​As a massive construction project threatens the balance, Natsuo must decide where his loyalties lie: with a village that demands his soul, or the mysterious beauty that remembers his name.

Brian, a man of quiet habits and Sofia, a girl with a loud personality and the love for drinking, finds comfort in the predictable rhythm of their friendship. Everything changes during a local night out at a bar as Brian's gaze locks onto a girl on stage with her fingers flying across the strings of a guitar. For the first time, Brian feels a "spark"-a sensation he's only ever read about in books and never quite believed was real.

Though seven years have passed since Theo escaped from his small, conservative hometown to pursue his dream of becoming an EDM DJ, between the exhaustion of working multiple dead-end jobs as well as overcoming his trauma-induced social anxiety, he's barely had any time or energy left over to make any progress towards his goal. Yet Theo remains determined to defeat any obstacle preventing him from turning his love of music into a full-time career. Lysander Delion represents everything Theo sees wrong with the music industry. The unbelievably famous pop star has everything: money, looks, a magnetic personality, and a seductive smile that has fans around the world swooning. When Theo is forced to interact with the flashy celebrity at one of his jobs, he's instantly put on his guard. But then Lysander surprises him by offering a tempting proposition that Theo struggles to turn down, knowing this could be the opportunity he's needed to achieve his lifelong dream. Does he refuse the proposition because he can't believe someone so rich and famous would really offer him such an incredible opportunity? Or does he risk everything and desperately hope that this project won't come with a hidden cost, or worse yet, that Lysander isn't a powerful and dangerous creep? Is this dashing and dazzling stranger worth trusting--worth exposing his fractured heart?
