Between earth and underworld lies a threshold no map can mark fragile, easy to break, and hidden from the world. Humanity walks blind, unaware that darkness waits in every shadow, fed by choices made long ago.
At its center is the House of Viriya. Once wealthy and powerful, their fortune came from a terrible pact: their ancestor traded his future and the destiny of every descendant for endless riches. He thought he could outrun fate, but karma grows like roots through stone, consuming everything it touches.
Now every Viriya carries that sin. They see what others cannot: beings trapped between life and death twisted creatures born from greed, betrayal, and unfinished business. They are no gentle ghosts; they hunt the family, drawn to the darkness in their blood, and as the curse grows stronger, the danger only deepens.
But one stands between them and ruin. He exists in that same liminal space half human, half guardian of the veil. He does not fight with magic or light, but with ancient, sharp ways. He sees truth in all things, and he is the only one who can stand against what hunts them.
As terror rises, unexpected feelings grow between him and the young Viriya heir bonds that cross worlds and break rules. Together they must face every horror, uncover the truth behind the old deal, and learn that every monster carries a story: of love lost, trust broken, and pain that would not die. To win, they must understand these creatures first and discover that even the darkest things can be understood, and even broken hearts can heal.
