The city wasn't always like this.
Or maybe it was - and Elira just never noticed when the warmth disappeared.
The fog came quietly. First in the mornings, then in the evenings, until it stayed long enough to settle inside people's thoughts. Everyone blamed the weather. Elira knew better. Fog doesn't just hide streets... it hides who people become when no one is watching.
She grew up surrounded by expectations, but never by understanding. Her parents knew who she should be - never who she truly was. At school, she learned the languages of the past and the secrets of forgotten rituals, yet no one taught her how to survive her own loneliness. Every day felt the same. Until it didn't.
Adrian didn't save her.
He didn't ruin her either.
He simply saw her.
And sometimes, being seen is the most dangerous thing of all.
But love is never the only story.
In the shadows of the city waits Selira - cold, powerful, and ruthless. A vampire who doesn't just hunt bodies... she hunts destinies. As Elira begins to discover the strength inside herself, Selira moves her pieces from the dark, turning trust into a weapon and hope into a weakness.
And then there is Demian.
His presence feels like gravity - impossible to escape. There is comfort in him, but also danger. He is tied to the secrets of the city, to the past Elira doesn't remember and the future she may not survive. With every choice he makes, everything can change.
This is not just a story about love.
It is a story about identity.
About the thin line between light and darkness.
About the moment you realize that monsters don't always hide in the dark...
Sometimes, they live inside the people you love.
And sometimes - inside yourself.
