The Concord has ruled for centuries, sustained by a secret the mortal world will never know. Immortality is not a gift. It is cultivated. When Celeste is bound to Lord Cassian Ardyn during a sacred Renewal, she becomes part of the immortal lattice that feeds the ruling council. She was meant to be a silent conduit — a temporary vessel in a system older than kingdoms. Instead, she disrupts it. A single surge of uncontrolled power sends a ripple through the Council Chamber, shaking the very structure that keeps the immortals alive. Now the Concord wants answers. Cassian wants control. And Celeste begins to realize something far more dangerous than immortality exists— The truth about who asked for it. In a world where eternity is enforced and power is siphoned from the living, one fracture in the weave could unravel everything.
