Aethoria's Veins

THE WORLD WAS NEVER BROKEN. IT WAS DESIGNED TO BREAK.

Some clocks count time.

Others hide the truth.

Kaelen Ashford is a respected scholar whose life is built on logic, precision, and the belief that every mystery has an explanation. But when clocks begin running backward, reflections refuse to obey reality, and students awaken after writing impossible prophecies in forgotten languages, the foundations of everything he knows begin to collapse.

Far beyond the safety of the university, memory forger Lyssa Voss survives by selling carefully crafted emotions to desperate strangers. She knows the difference between genuine feelings and manufactured ones-until a single prophecy links her fate to Kaelen's and reveals a conspiracy older than civilization itself.

Together they are drawn into the living network known as the Weave, where memories become weapons, forgotten gods still dream beneath the world, and every answer demands a terrible sacrifice.

As reality begins unraveling, Kaelen must confront an impossible truth:

Some questions should never be answered.

Because asking them may restart the cycle that destroyed the world once before.
