Every person gets a mark on their 21st birthday. A symbol. A promise. A bond. Somewhere in the world, your soulmate bears the same mark, etched into a different place-defining the kind of love you'll share.
Marlene Villanueva is a rising tech genius, mentored by Tony Stark himself, more comfortable with machines than people. She's smart, sarcastic, and emotionally unprepared for the whirlwind her mark will bring.
Robert Reynolds is a broken boy turned weapon, haunted by the past and afraid of the future. He's spent years locked away, experimented on, transformed into something terrifying. He doesn't believe he deserves love-let alone a soulmate.
When their marks appear, they don't bring clarity. They bring chaos. And slowly, gently, irrevocably... connection.
This is a story about awkward beginnings, cosmic bonds, and the kind of love that heals.
