Before the earth turned to stone, Lyra Maddox foretold its demise. And when the visions became reality, she lost everything -her family, her sister, and her home. Believing herself the last survivor, Lyra is forced to hide in the shadows of a new, stone world teeming with monstrous Noctivore. She wanders the ruins haunted by the memory of her little sister, until she is rescued and stumbles into something impossible-an underground city carved into stone and glowing with crystal light. The city of Virelia is unlike anything she ever imagined. It is full of life ruled by a formidable queen and guarded by powerful individuals. For the first time since the Collapse, Lyra feels a fragile flicker of belonging. But Lyra brings more than her grief to Virelia. She carries abilities she doesn't fully understand-and a warning of a future even darker than the past. As a threat rises from the surface to finish what the Collapse started, Lyra begins to see she may not have been spared by chance. Caught between love, loyalty, and rebellion, she might be the key to stopping a war that threatens to destroy everything.

Two lovers. One is immortal, the other isn't. Aurelia is 1000 years old. A wish that saved her life as a baby turns out to be a never ending curse, as she watches her loved ones leave her, over and over again. Her solution? Give up long term relationships and never be hurt again - nice smiles and cute winks mean nothing but trouble. That proves to be difficult, however, when she meets one special soul and begins to question her 200 year old decision. ONC 2023 entry based on prompt #25: "If he smiled at you, he'll break your heart. If she winked at you, she'll rip you apart."
