The first time Y/N sees another living person in her prison world, she thinks she’s finally losing her mind. For four years, it’s just been her and an endless repeat of the day she was born — the same sunrise, the same empty roads, the same half-played songs crackling through abandoned radios like the universe is taunting her. Her coven called her dangerous. Unstable. A threat to the balance of magic. So they punished her the way witches punish monsters: they buried her inside a prison world and left her there to disappear. Y/N always believed it was made for her. Until she meets Kai Parker. Kai’s been trapped in May 10th, 1994 for nearly two decades, long enough to know prison worlds aren’t supposed to collide. But somehow, her world is bleeding into his — flickering between years, merging streets that shouldn’t exist, pulling the two of them together like a cosmic mistake. He’s infuriatingly smug, dangerously clever, and the first real person Y/N has spoken to in years. She’s sharp-tongued, distrustful, and powerful enough to make even Kai nervous. Neither of them are good people. Neither of them know how to exist around someone else anymore. Unfortunately, they might be all each other has. As the walls between their prison worlds begin to crack, strange magic starts surfacing — magic tied to the covens that condemned them both. And the closer Y/N gets to Kai, the more she realizes her punishment may have never been about what she did. It may have been about what she could become.
