Leila Aurelie, the angelic heir to Skyline Kingdom, has always lived a life of duty, bound to a world of calm perfection where emotions are predictable and desires are tamed. But as she prepares to marry and take on her kingdom's legacy, a quiet yearning for something more-something real-takes root. When a mysterious voice guides her to the forbidden Box of Ascendancy, Leila is cast to Earth, where life is chaotic, raw, and heartbreakingly beautiful.
On a desolate bridge, she meets Josh Brown, a young man hanging at the edge of hope and despair. Together, they embark on a transformative week, delving into the depths of human connection, mental health struggles, and the heart-stirring power of love. As Leila experiences the messy beauty of life, she's forced to confront the limits of her angelic purpose and question where she truly belongs.
In a story of romance, fantasy, and self-discovery, Leila faces a life-altering decision: return to the perfection of Skyline Kingdom or risk everything for a life-and love-that is achingly, beautifully flawed.
