He is thirty-two.
A heartthrob superstar with millions of fans, a life lived under flashing cameras and endless applause. The world loves him loudly, endlessly-claiming every smile, every silence, every breath as its own.
She is twenty-one.
Escaped from a past that nearly erased her, she lives now as someone else-careful, guarded, learning how to breathe again. Survival taught her to stay invisible. Healing is teaching her how to exist.
For four years, she's loved him.
Not with expectation.
But with devotion-steady, restrained, unspoken.
Loving him was never meant to lead anywhere. It was simply something she carried.
Their worlds are impossibly far apart.
His thrives on visibility.
Hers depends on staying unseen.
They cannot collide.
They should not fall in love.
The age between them, the lives they live, the consequences of being seen together-everything stands against them. And yet, fate is relentless, pulling two fractured souls into the same fragile space, where longing lingers and restraint begins to crack.
Some forms of love are forbidden because they are dangerous.
Some are impossible because they arrive too early-or too late.
And some exist only to prove that even the most broken light can still find its way home seeping through fractured souls.
Splintered Light is a slow-burn, age-gap romance about devotion, survival, and two impossible worlds that were never meant to meet-until they did.
