Living under the stern gaze of her traditional parents, her blossoming feelings for Julien-the intriguing new arrival with a mysterious past and a disarming smile-become her most intimate secret. What begins as a chance encounter in the quiet corner of a bookstore unfolds into hushed conversations, letters slipped between pages, and midnight rendezvous beneath flickering streetlamps.

He's unfazed by secrecy-more intrigued by the layers she hides, and patient enough to uncover them one by one. (also, parents find out ect ect)

In Aetherra, gods aren't born by divine decree-they emerge from the deepest corners of the human heart. Each one manifested during a singular emotional moment: a burning betrayal, a forgotten glance, a child's bittersweet laugh. These deities rule scattered domains, never meant to cross paths... until the Hollow stirs. The Hollow: an ancient void that pulses beneath reality, said to house the very first feeling ever felt. Now it thrums with an unnatural rhythm, and gods who were once separated by purpose find themselves tangled in fate. At the center is Roen, a mortal who should have never been chosen. With no power but the weight of memory, he anchors their unraveling. Secrets churn beneath veiled eyes. Emotions twist into weapons. And as buried truths claw their way into daylight, the gods must confront the moments that birthed them-or be undone by them. ... The Hollow is watching.
