In a world built on beautiful lies, the truth will set everything on fire.

Nuama is a matriarchal paradise where winged women rule and beautiful men exist solely for their pleasure. It's built on power, control, and some very convenient untruths. But now, paradise is cracking—literally. The nightmare realm of Ihatithre is bleeding through, and if the barrier fails completely, all realities—including Nuama—will cease to exist.

Empress Thelyrah walks a razor's edge, desperately trying to save trapped souls from the hellscape of Ihatithre while hiding a secret that could destroy everything she's built. Her daughter faces a crown she doesn't want. An exiled servant uncovers ancient secrets that could get him killed. And through a rip between worlds, a time-hopping Evermate sees something that could destroy both realms…

Seven perspectives. Seven lives spiraling toward collision.

As ancient systems crumble and forbidden attractions ignite, each must choose: preserve the order that's protected them for millennia, or risk everything to build a better reality. But when you're playing with the fate of multiple worlds, one wrong move could end them all.

The barrier is failing. Blood will spill. And the people trying to save both realms are about to shatter every rule in the most spectacular way possible.

Dark romantasy with morally complex characters, political intrigue, and scorching romantic subplots. Multiple POVs. Actual LGBTQIA+ representation. Deep worldbuilding. No heroines—just women making impossible choices while worlds burn (same, love you, hang in there ♥️).
