In a world where gods are forbidden to love mortals, you have always lived quietly in the shadow of someone brighter—your perfect sister, admired by all while you remain sharp-tongued, overlooked, and unbothered. Until a stranger appears in a quiet garden and looks at you like he has been searching for you across lifetimes. Adreion, a god bound by divine law, has broken one of the highest rules—devotion. Cast down and stripped of most of his power, he is forced to live among mortals until he can sever his attachment to you and return to the heavens. But the problem is simple. He doesn’t want to. And the more time he spends near you, the more the line between punishment and choice begins to blur—until even the gods start to wonder whether fate made a mistake in letting him find you at all.
