The Glass Grimoire

"Never touch the glass with your bare skin."

When Elara Vance is hired to catalog the ancient Aether Library at Blackwood Manor, she expects dusty books and a paycheck. She doesn't expect Julian Blackwood-the manor's reclusive, sharp-tongued heir who treats the house like a cage and the shadows like friends.

But the windows at Blackwood are different. They don't reflect the present; they show a past filled with beautiful masquerades and a future stained in blood.

As Elara is drawn into the humming, silver-bound secrets of the Chronos Shard, she realizes she isn't just an employee. She's the girl Julian has seen dying in the glass a thousand times. Now, they must break the cycle before the Aether claims her soul-and his heart.
