The world of Aerthos is divided by a literal and social chasm. High above the smog-choked, industrial city of Ironwood sits Veridia, the Gilded Spire, where the elite Ascendant Houses harness the power of stolen Aether-Crystals to fuel their lavish lives and magical defenses. Elias Vane is the most lethal operative of the underground resistance in Ironwood—the infamous “Ghost of the Low City.” Driven by the trauma of his childhood, his mission is simple: destabilize the Ascendant Houses one high-ranking target at a time. His newest contract is the most sensitive yet: Lady Lyra Solstus, the youngest and most unpredictable daughter of the House Solstus patriarch. The resistance believes she possesses a hidden ledger that exposes the source of the Houses’ power and their cruel exploitation of the Grounders. Elias breaches the impenetrable defenses of the Spire and corners Lyra in her private library, ready to execute his mission. However, he discovers Lyra is not the spoiled aristocrat he expected, but a lonely scholar consumed by guilt and actively researching her family’s darkest secrets. During their confrontation, an ancient magical artifact—a forgotten Binding Amulet—is accidentally activated, magically linking their souls in a symbiotic, life-threatening bond that neither can sever. Forced to rely on one another to survive, the assassin and his target must navigate the treacherous political landscape of the Gilded Spire, dodging both Elias’s former guild and the vengeful House Solstus. As they work together to find a way to break the dangerous bond, Elias finds his cold resolve melting under Lyra’s quiet strength, and Lyra finds in the deadly assassin a fierce, unexpected protector. Their survival depends not just on breaking the bond, but on uncovering the truth about the Aether-Crystals—a truth that could either unite Aerthos or plunge it into irreversible ruin.

At the heart of it all is Rowan, a man tethered to both timelines, hiding truths behind soft eyes and silent goodbyes. As Eveline unravels the threads of her past life, she must choose whether to break the hour that binds them — or become the very ghost she fears. A tale of echoes, fractured selves, and the hour that won’t let go.
