In a world where Espers fight monsters and Guides keep them sane, Lee Min-jun has a secret. She's the only Guide left alive-and nobody knows. For seventeen years, she's hidden her S-rank abilities, working a quiet desk job at the Hunter Association while Espers slowly go mad from contamination. It's safer this way. Safer to stay invisible than to become the Association's puppet. But when Ethan Cross arrives-an arrogant American S-rank on the verge of going rogue-her carefully constructed life begins to crumble. One accidental touch. One moment of weakness. And now he knows something's different about her. As his contamination spirals and her secret threatens to unravel, Min-jun faces an impossible choice: reveal herself and lose her freedom, or watch the world burn. Some secrets are worth dying for. Some people are worth the risk.

They called her cursed. A danger to the world. So they caged her, broke her, and turned her into something almost human. Forgotten. Powerless. Innocent. Until he came for her. Ravyn - a dark king feared by realms, born of blood and bound by shadows - didn't believe in softness. Until he saw her. Now, he can't stop. He watches her. Touches her. Guards her like she's a treasure only he can have. She breathes, and he's obsessed. She flinches, and he wants to destroy the world for ever hurting her. She belongs to him - even if she doesn't know it yet. But the truth buried in her bloodline runs deeper than she knows. And Ravyn? He'll burn kingdoms before he lets her slip through his fingers.

Pressure. Proximity. Repetition. Until it wraps around them both, and neither can tell where it started or how to stop it.

They say every ending is a beginning in disguise. For Dawn Pierce, that disguise looks a lot like disaster. When the life she planned falls apart, she's forced into a new one she never asked for - one that will test everything she believes about love, identity, and belonging. Because sometimes the life meant for us doesn't start with a choice. It starts with a collapse. (quick title explanation) (Describing a "dawn" as "insurmountable" creates a powerful, paradoxical image. It suggests that a new beginning or a potential moment of hope/clarity is, for some reason, impossible to reach, get past, or deal with successfully. As a book title, the phrase is effective because it is evocative and creates intrigue. It immediately suggests themes of: Hopelessness or despair (a new day that cannot be reached) An unchangeable reality or fate A profound challenge in the face of what should be a natural occurrence.)
