Clare, a timid high school girl struggling to find her place in the world, stumbles upon a mysterious locket after saving an old grandmother in a moment of kindness. When the grandmother unexpectedly dies in her arms, Clare is left with unanswered questions and a burden she never asked for.
But one night, the locket glows, pulling Clare into the mystical world of Aseria-a realm of beauty and peril, teetering on the edge of destruction. Alone in her pajamas and standing in the pouring rain, Clare encounters Luna, a mysterious girl who seems to know her and her destiny. However, Clare soon learns that Luna is far more than she appears.

Haunted by visions, pursued by the shadowy Kaelor, and guided by fragments of Luna's past, Clare begins a journey of self-discovery, courage, and heartbreak.
As the line between light and shadow blurs, Clare must decide: will she embrace the destiny she never wanted, or will the weight of the locket destroy her?
