This story follows twin sisters, Elara and Adriana, who are trying to navigate everyday life while unknowingly standing at the edge of a hidden world tied to their older half-brothers. On the surface, they are just students with very different personalities-Adriana is bold, sarcastic, and direct, while Elara is quieter, more observant, and emotionally reserved-but together they balance each other as best friends as much as sisters. Their lives shift when Elara is taken in by her brothers after a disturbing incident at her foster home, pulling both sisters closer to a family structure that is controlled, secretive, and deeply layered.
