The prophecy named her - "Death".
Most named her - "Enemie".
Alina Corundum's quiet life of observation is shattered. The ancient legend of "Life and Death", told for generations in her world, Agath, is awakening, and with the stories comes a terrible truth: actions have consequences, and a debt, centuries old, is now due.
Alongside her most trusted friends, Alina is pushed into a shadow war where reality itself is the battleground and truth is the price. A hidden rot plagues their city, a threat woven from illusions and manipulations that threatens to consume everything they hold dear.
To survive, they must learn to see the truth behind the lies. Must learn to read between the lines. But in a world where perception is a double edge sword, the most dangerous lie might be the one they told themselves.
Their choices are what will write the story and history of their world.
There are no chosen ones - just choices of mortal beings.
