Between Light and Darkness

In a world where everything seems normal, Iris only wants to blend in.
To live in her student residence, go to school, and pretend her life is just like everyone else's.

But Iris is hiding a secret-one the government has learned to fear.

For years, the Shadow Project has hunted people marked by an unexplainable anomaly, recruiting them and shaping them into something else. Iris has managed to stay hidden... until now.

When her older sister, Irina, disappears under strange circumstances and rumors begin to spread through the halls of her school, Iris starts to question everything she thought she knew. The arrival of government guards confirms that the danger is no longer just a rumor.

Amid the chaos, two boys enter her life and change her fate forever:
Theo, kind, steady, and far too connected to the system that threatens to destroy her.
And Kael, brilliant, enigmatic, and surrounded by secrets no one dares to name.

Caught between constant surveillance, hidden truths, and emotions that grow harder to control, Iris will be pulled between light and darkness, where loving can be just as dangerous as surviving.

Because in a world that fears what is different, hiding is the only way to remain free.
