Some bonds don't break, they tighten. Marina has always known Maliq as her best friend, the boy who felt like home. But somewhere along the line, he starts treating her like something already promised to him. Now the line between love and control has blurred. Memories can barely be trusted and relationships shift without warning. Because in a world built on magic and social status, even love can be rewritten. And some tethers are never meant to be questioned.
