The city of Lumeris was once known for its glowing towers and endless nights, where neon lights outshone the stars. But that was before the Awakening. Before humans remembered they were more than flesh and bone.
It began ten years ago, quietly, like most world-ending things. A ripple in the sky. A sound only a few could hear—a whisper from something beyond reality. And those who heard it changed.
Some people woke up with fire in their hands. Others could tear buildings apart with their voice. A few—like Elias Gray, a soft-spoken 27-year-old librarian—woke up knowing when someone was about to die.
Elias didn't want power. He hated violence. But he also knew how much it hurt to lose someone without warning. He called his ability Threadseer. Every person had a thread, a string of golden light only he could see. When it started to fray… it meant time was running out.
