When seventeen-year-old Lexia Palm stumbles into another world, she finds herself in Xeonnusta, a dazzling kingdom of marble streets and golden banners, ruled by a king adored by all. To the people, King Zylon is a savior, a man who ended war and ushered in an age of peace. To Lexia, he seemed like the only light in a land she didn't understand. But beneath the crown's shine, something festers. Beyond Xeonnusta's gleaming streets, whispers of creatures branded Kantarrok -beings of evil magic - patrolled in the darkness and shadows. The king calls them a threat to human peace. As Lexia is drawn deeper into the illusion, she begins to see the cracks forming beneath the crown. The rot consuming Essubis is far more than a disease. It's spreading through minds, through hearts, and through the throne itself. Now, she must decide what she truly believes: the perfection she sees, or the corruption she can feel. Because the deeper she looks, the more she understands -every paradise hides its own kind of Rot.
