Elara and Silas had been inseparable since childhood. Every day, every memory, was shared-until Silas last summer, after which everything changed. He broke the friendship without explanation, leaving Elara with silence and insufferable bullying by his friends.
Now, at the annual Moonlight Masquerade Ball hosted by her school, no one recognizes her-not even Silas. Her identity hidden behind an elegant mask and a new presence.
When Silas ends up being her mystery date, unaware of who she truly is, a spark flies. It's unexpected, and consuming. For the first time in a year, Elara sees the shadow of the Silas she once knew.
And she makes a choice. A choice that can either leave her heart open with a eternal wound -or give her answers for what really happened. Why did Silas leave her?
But everything has its limits. And some answers come with a cost.

The city of Ember Hollow was alive, bustling with secrets that danced through the streets like whispers in the night. Everyone knew who controlled it all-the mafia boss, Kade Alistair. Ruthless, sharp-eyed, and powerful, he ruled the underground with a fist of iron. His name alone made men tremble and women disappear behind closed doors. But to the outside world? Kade was nothing more than a shadow, lurking just behind the veil of ordinary life. Kade had his own rules, his own empire. He didn't care about the outside world of kindness and naivety. All that mattered was power, control, and keeping his enemies in line. A cold-hearted king, untouchable, invincible. On the other side of the city, Elara Blake lived a different kind of life-one filled with light. She moved through the world with soft steps, kind words, and a gentle heart. Elara worked at the local flower shop, her days filled with the sweet scent of roses and the warmth of sunlight filtering through glass windows. She was the kind of girl who smiled at strangers and found joy in the smallest moments, unaware that her peaceful world was built on the foundations of darkness she couldn't see. Ember Hollow was a world divided. Kade's shadows ruled the night, while Elara's kindness bloomed in the daylight. Two worlds, completely separate, completely unaware of the other's existence...Complete
