Elara Vance has always hated the holidays—something always goes wrong, as if luck itself avoids her. This year is no different… until she stumbles upon something impossible.A door.It shouldn’t exist. Not in the quiet, snow-covered streets. Not glowing with soft, golden light. But something inside her—something she doesn’t understand—pulls her toward it.On the other side lies a world she never imagined.A grand, breathtaking ball filled with masked strangers, shimmering magic, and whispers of danger. Every step she takes feels wrong… yet familiar. As if she’s been there before.And then she meets him.Kaelith Dorne—dark, commanding, and impossible to ignore. His gaze lingers too long. His touch feels like a memory she never lived. He knows her name… even though she’s never seen him before.Because Elara isn’t just a lost girl who wandered into the wrong world.She is the secret that world has been waiting for.And Kaelith?He’s the one who’s been waiting for her.
