Marked by His shadow

Seventeen-year-old Aria Hale has always felt a peculiar tug in her chest, as if something unseen was waiting for her. She never imagined that “something” would turn out to be Lucian, the enigmatic Lucian who appears on the night her world falls apart.

And somehow… he feels like someone she should know.
As she gets drawn into a concealed war between realms, Aria learns that she is tied to an ancient curse, one that entwines her destiny with Lucian's in ways neither of them fully grasps. His distance is yet protective, cold but softly caring, and whenever he gazes at her, Aria senses the truth emerging: Their bond isn’t a coincidence.
It’s perilous.
And it’s embedded in the curse itself
