When the sky cracked open, the world learned that monsters weren't born - they were built.
On an abandoned field beneath a collapsed orphanage, two survivors-Mira, a girl carrying light beneath her ribs, and Jacob, a boy who refuses to break-stand where the ancient god who fed on childhood once ruled. They destroyed it.
Now reality itself is unraveling:
Memories fall like broken rooms from the sky.
Homes rebuild from trauma and grace.
Forgotten voices whisper through grass.
The fabric of the world begins to remember too much.
And at the edge of creation, something older than light awakens-not hungry, but empty.
It does not want to feed.
It wants to erase.
To save what remains, Mira must bear every soul ever taken by lanterns. Jacob must hold love where memory was removed. And together, they must teach an unfinished god how to feel before the universe decides it would rather feel nothing at all.
Bound by grief.
Fueled by a fire that should have killed them.
They will rewrite the world or vanish inside it.
Because sometimes the scariest thing isn't losing the world-
it's becoming the ones who rebuild it.
A standalone novel that begins as terror, ends as transcendence, and haunts like a memory that refuses to go quiet.
