The world changed in the blink of an eye as a massive shockwave tore through the planet, its energy reverberating through the very fabric of the earth and touching every human soul. Nothing would ever be the same again. That day marked a turning point for humanity. With every individual imbued with power or ability, some grew animal parts as an extension of their new gifts, while others transformed into lost souls or phantoms, destined to haunt the earth. The phantoms, driven by malice, unleashed havoc across the globe assaulting humanity, structures, and nature itself. Some materializing with a physical form, while others were more like wraiths, wreaking havoc from beyond the veil. Unbeknownst to humanity a hierarchy of power began to emerge. Those who had animal parts found themselves bestowed with unique abilities, their powers distinct and formidable. In contrast, humans without the animal traits possessed more generic abilities, their powers less extraordinary but still significant in their own right. Among the transformed, those without animal traits discovered they had basic elemental abilities manipulating fire, water, earth, and air and telekinetic powers. These capabilities though impressive, were more generalized. In contrast, the humans with animal traits possessed powers that were more unique as their physical changes. They exhibited abilities that mirrored their animal traits, such as enhanced speed, acute senses, or even the power to heal rapidly. Some even developed entirely new skills that defied conventional understanding, marking them as extraordinary in the new world. Chaos reigned in the new world as the old laws crumbled and new tensions arose. A rift formed between the humans without animal traits and those who had transformed. The former saw the latter as dangerous and unpredictable, while the individuals with animal traits felt ostracized and unfairly scrutinized, their powers and traits misunderstood and feared. Humanity fractured, with groups forming and claiming territories based on their differences. The majority isolated themselves from those with animal traits, and vice versa, as mistrust ran deep. However, in certain areas, small bands of people defied this trend, staying together despite their differences, united in their efforts to rebuild and protect themselves from the relentless phantoms that attacked without warning. Across the fractured world, human and human-trait groups alike took up the mantle of discovery. They banded together in search of answers, traversing continents in pursuit of any clue that might explain the transformation that had upended their lives. Following the path of the shockwave, they moved forward with a mix of determination and uncertainty, knowing that the truth or danger lay ahead.

Now he can’t stop looking at her like she’s everything. Avery Skye made herself a promise—never let yourself get broken again. Especially not by the golden boy who tore her down with a smile, branded her with cruelty, then disappeared like she didn’t exist. Now he’s back. Taller. Sharper. Sinfully gorgeous. And worst of all?

But hatred burns too close to hunger, and in the shadows of their shared space, Avery can’t tell if she wants to kill him… or kiss him bloody. In a city drowning in secrets, the most dangerous thing of all might be wanting the one man she swore she'd never forgive.
