Description

In a world ravaged by environmental collapse, society has fractured into starkly divided sectors: the opulent Upper Sphere and the struggling Lower Grounds. Seventeen-year-old Lyra Hale navigates the desolate streets of the Lower Grounds, where hope is a rare commodity. Her life takes an unexpected turn when her mother marries a wealthy engineer from the Upper Sphere, thrusting Lyra into a life of luxury she never wanted. As she struggles to adapt, Lyra encounters her enigmatic stepbrother, Jaxon, whose brooding demeanor hides secrets of his own. Their simmering attraction is both undeniable and forbidden, igniting a dangerous passion that threatens to consume them both. But Lyra's heart is further torn when she meets Kai, a rebellious leader from the Lower Grounds who fights for justice and freedom. Caught in a perilous love triangle, Lyra must navigate the treacherous waters of love, loyalty, and deceit—while a revolution brews on the horizon. In a world on the brink of chaos, can Lyra find her voice and choose her heart's true desire before it’s too late?
