As Zaya and Kairo are drawn together by undeniable chemistry, they become entangled in a world of lavish parties, whispered secrets, and power plays that threaten to consume them both.

Meanwhile, Vivienne Hale lurks in the background, scheming to take everything Zaya holds dear. Concrete Hearts is a sultry, high-stakes urban romance about the price of desire, the strength of self-worth, and the unrelenting pull of a love that could destroy—or save—you. Every chapter pulses with tension, passion, and cliffhangers that leave readers breathless and craving more.

When mages came into being, when the first swordswinger built the first abode, when the abodes of humanity stood in line with the heaven of the divine beings of various races, when mages kept making worlds into bricks and built the wall for humanity, when gods built personal heaven for worlds under them, when void rulers stood above all, humanity rose to a new height. Humanity had their own gods as many humans rose from mages and became gods and many gods either became god kings walking along the theocratic path or became void rulers forging their Leela by using their own rules. but sometimes, bricks of the wall get lost and such bricks fall down into the void sea made by the void rulers in the void to protect the independent worlds where humanity could reside. When bricks fell apart, when worlds in bricks had humans who were descendants of humanity, when they still practiced the same power system, the worlds will sometimes give help to beings to help them awaken their origin power as even the weakest world will develop their core rule which only a void ruler could control over time. These records are about such lost bricks, how the world among the bricks which were supposed to be protected by the mages who are protected by the gods who were protected by the god kings or void rulers fell down to the void sea. This record is more important as the 30% of the void rulers rose from the lost bricks and independent world and most of the powerful people from such worlds are stronger and have the will of the lord and the will of the king as they were not suppressed by someone above them even though those above them protected them. Although only one among thousands of such lost worlds will have a successful person who rise above such worlds and have a possibility of rising from a warrior to a mage, possessing talent enough to become a god, only one among thousand successful people are from freely free worlds that has nothing to do with the first abode or any abode made by human void rulers having a pure practice systems that are unique to that worlds. So these records shall be named 'Lost Bricks' shall be mainly about worlds in lost bricks and the lords among all lost worlds as ever since the rise of the first primitive king, lords always remained respected whether the lords are simply skilled lords, lords raised by people, warrior lords, intent lords, mage lords, or gods or void rulers. Hence concludes the prologue of records of lost brick.
