In a world shrouded in endless dusk, where the sun has not risen for a thousand years, a mysterious young woman named Cassandra roams the desolate forests. She is a keeper of an ancient curse, bound to protect the hidden Lunar Veil-a mystical relic said to control the balance between day and night. Her long black hair flows in the wind as she walks the untouched lands, haunted by her own solitude and the weight of her duty.
Cassandra's only companion is the moon, whose light grows weaker with every passing century. As darkness creeps further into the land, whispers of forgotten lore suggest that the veil is fading, and with it, the world may be plunged into eternal night.
One fateful night, while watching the ever-fading crescent moon, Selene encounters a stranger-a young man named Orion, whose sudden appearance stirs the quiet of the forest. Unlike Selene, he has no connection to the curse, but he harbours an unexplainable bond with the stars, which begin to flicker back to life with his arrival.
Together, they embark on a perilous journey to the heart of the moon's power. As they unravel the mystery of the Lunar Veil and Orion's forgotten past, they discover that the balance between light and darkness is far more fragile-and far more personal-than either of them imagined.
