"In a world of lies, you are my only truth."
For as long as he can remember, Arden has carried an unnameable void inside him. It isn't just sadness, and it isn't just grief-it is a quiet, aching yearning. A lifelong question mark carved into his chest, searching for a person, a feeling, or a truth he has never been able to define.
To survive in a world that feels fake and performative, he wears a mask, keeping the world at arm's length and building walls around his heart.
But on a cold, foggy train platform, a stranger with hazel eyes speaks to him-and for a single brief moment, the constant noise in his head goes quiet. Then, she vanishes into the mist.
Left with nothing but four words-"The public library, Copley Square"-Arden is forced to question his own sanity. Was she real, or was she a desperate illusion created by a soul tired of searching?
*A moody, slow-burn psychological romance about lifelong isolation, identity, and finding a soul worth searching for.*
