Better in the dark

In the sprawling city of London, where history whispers through the brick walls and dreams shimmer just beyond reach, two souls collide in the shadowed spaces of their lives.

Odette is a dreamer, a student at the University of London with ink-stained fingers and a heart full of stories she's desperate to tell. But her words falter when she meets Nico-a boy cloaked in secrets, whose sharp edges carve scars into the night. Nico is drowning in a life he didn't choose, navigating a world of appointments and whispered transactions, while fighting battles he doesn't always want to win.

They find each other in the dark-a place Nico knows too well and Odette learns to understand. Together, they unravel, their broken pieces fitting in ways they never expected. Yet love, fragile and fierce, is not always enough to save them.

Poignant, raw, and hauntingly beautiful, Better in the Dark is a tale of two people who grasp for light, only to discover that some things are clearer in the shadows.
