Where the World Frays

Where the World Frays

When reality begins to fracture, what holds a world together-power, or love?

In the fog-drenched town of Havenwood, Maine, Isolde March lives a quiet life haunted by dreams of a lost crystal city swallowed by the sea. But when she uncovers a hidden cipher tied to her bloodline and performs a forbidden ritual under a blood moon, she doesn't just uncover the past-she tears open reality itself.

From the rift falls Drystan, a wounded warrior from a destroyed kingdom, carrying secrets that could unravel time.

As memories shift, time skips, and shadowy Echoes emerge, Isolde discovers that magic in her world is not forged from elements-but from human emotion. To repair the fracture before everything collapses, she and Drystan must gather four Anchors-artifacts bound to joy, rage, sacrifice, and memory.

But something far more dangerous is coming.

Malachi, a powerful mage who once destroyed an entire world in pursuit of perfection, has found them. And this time, he intends to reshape reality itself.

Caught between a flawless eternity and a broken, fragile world filled with love, Isolde must decide:

Is a perfect world worth the cost of being human?

Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, slow-burn romance, emotional magic systems, and time-bending adventures.
