Greyroot is a city that watches. Its cobblestone streets remember every step ever taken, and its walls keep secrets older than the academy built within them. Nothing here is as still as it appears-not the stone, not the silence, not the past. Aila has always noticed things others don't. The way the ground feels warm beneath her shoes. The way the city seems to shift when no one is looking. At Greyroot Academy, she's taught to observe and investigate-but no one warns her what happens when the city starts answering back. Tomas knows how to belong in Greyroot. He's charming, careful, and comes from a family whose name is woven into the city's history. What he shows the world is easy. What he hides is darker, heavier, and far more dangerous. As strange disturbances begin to surface, Aila and Tomas are drawn into a mystery buried beneath stone and memory. Anger rises. Trust is tested. Feelings neither of them expected begin to grow in the spaces between fear and truth. Some cities are built to last. Greyroot was built to forget. But not everything stays buried forever.

Something has crossed over. It doesn't arrive loudly. It doesn't announce itself. It walks barefoot through the city, leaving behind ripples that don't fade-only spread. Kush-tiel feels it before he understands it. A presence humming beneath floorboards. A whisper that follows him out of sleep. A question with no owner: Who? Across the city, a child appears where she shouldn't exist. Too calm. Too quiet. People change around her. Violence blooms without memory. Reflections lie. Billboards watch back. And somewhere between dreams and daylight, a name surfaces that should have been safe. Zephyr. As echoes spread through streets, homes, and minds, the boundary between influence and invasion begins to crack. What entered the world isn't lost-it's searching. And whatever it's looking for is closer than anyone realizes. Chapter 5 deepens the unease, drawing the threat inward-toward family, toward memory, toward the places that were never meant to be breached. Some doors don't open. They let things through.

Alex was not a man people whispered about-he was the whisper itself, the shadow that bled fear into every corner. To his enemies, he was the devil in flesh; to his family, a curse. Love meant nothing to him. Mercy was a word he had never learned. His hands had written stories in blood, and the world knew better than to cross his path. he fell in love with a girl whom he rejected years ago he doesn't remember. He rejected her because he thought love would soften him, and he couldn't afford weakness in his cruel world. > "I don't need love. Love makes you weak... and I can't be weak." Kiara. She used to be sunshine - sweet, bubbly, always laughing, always dreaming. The girl who loved food, played badminton with her whole heart, and would sacrifice anything for her family. But that girl died the day she was humiliated. On a dare, she confessed her feelings to her brother's best friend. To him. And Alex-the boy she had once admired-shattered her with seven words: "You're not my type. Don't bother." Those words broke her... but they also rebuilt her. Now she's colder. Stronger. Badass enough to stare the devil in the eye without flinching. Two years later, Alex is back. But he's not the same either. The devil who once felt nothing now finds himself burning-for the very girl he rejected. He wants her. Needs her. But the worst part? He doesn't even recognize that she's the same girl from his past... until it's too late. Kiara ignores him like he never existed. And Alex-the one who never begged, never cared-now faces the one battle he can't win with violence: Her heart. Will she forgive him? Will she accept him? Or will the devil learn what it feels like to be destroyed by the very fire he created? ---
