In a hidden war beneath Lake City's neon and rain, five strangers became a family bound by powers none of them asked for - and a love neither storm nor secret could fully protect. But every guardian they've lost has taught them the same lesson: some things, once written, don't stay buried. Now, as something older than their enemies stirs beneath the city, John and Sera must decide how much of themselves they're willing to give to save the ones they love, before the truth finally comes to collect what it's owed.

Frankie has always seen what others don't. Then people begin changing. Trust shatters. Nothing adds up. Someone is quietly rewriting reality. The worst part? They know Frankie is getting close. Silence isn't empty. It's watching.
