The Line

The world was once whole. Now, it is broken.

No one knows where The Line came from-only that it appeared overnight, cutting through land, cities, and lives without warning. Those who dare to cross it never return the same, and the world that remains is fractured, torn between what was and what is becoming.

Kieran Vale, a scavenger scraping by in the lawless zones, never cared about the past-until he finds a journal filled with whispers of a time before The Line. The pages speak of people who saw it coming, of secrets buried beneath the ruins, and of a truth too dangerous to be forgotten.

Lyra Kael, once a scholar, now a rogue seeking answers, believes The Line isn't just a boundary-it's a warning. Her path collides with Kieran's when she discovers a name lost to history, a name that could unravel everything: Ren.

Jax Arden, a soldier from the walled cities, was raised to believe the world beyond is dead. But when his loyalties are tested, he is forced to question everything he was taught-and whether those outside the walls are truly the enemy.

As warlords, fanatics, and shadowy forces fight for control, the three must navigate a world where time is unraveling, reality is shifting, and something is watching from beyond The Line.

Some say The Line was never meant to exist. Others say it was meant to keep something out.

But what if it was meant to keep something in?
