Two worlds. One destiny.

Claire’s life is normal. Almost painfully predictable. Morning jogs along the embankment, long lectures that blur into one another, friends, plans for the weekend. The kind of life where nothing truly dangerous is ever supposed to happen. Aldren’s life is something else entirely. For centuries, he has wandered a dead, broken world, fighting creatures that never stop coming. Bound by an ancient oath to a royal bloodline that has long since fallen silent, he exists only to survive and to wait for a call that may never come. There is no day or night there, no passage of time. Just endless twilight and the certainty that if he dies, he will fail the one purpose he has left. Then one night, in a crowded club filled with music, alcohol, and careless laughter, Claire finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. What starts as harmless attention turns into something else. Something heavier, more insistent, harder to escape. The noise swallows her voice, the crowd doesn’t notice, and for the first time in her life, she realizes how quickly everything can go wrong. And somewhere far away, in a world where nothing ever changes, Aldren feels it. A pull that should not exist. A command without words. A bond awakening. For the first time in centuries, someone is calling him.
