WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE

Lance Mercer doesn't believe in fate.
He believes in silence, control, and keeping his head down... especially after what he'sbeen through.

But the moment he meets Adrian Veyra, the golden boy of the debate team, his world tilts.
Adrian is everything Lance isn't: loud, magnetic, impossible to ignore - and for some reason, obsessed with getting under his skin.

What starts as rivalry becomes obsession.
What feels like attraction feels too dangerous to name.

Neither of them knows that something older is stirring - something that marks them both.
Lance carries the blood of a demon. Adrian carries the light of a god.
And somewhere between the arguments, the silence, and the sparks, destiny starts to wake up.

In a world that thinks it's ordinary, two boys are about to learn the truth:
their war didn't start here.
It's been waiting centuries for them to find each other.

Dark academia meets supernatural tragedy.
Enemies. Lovers. Destined opposites.
Not all marks are meant to fade.
