EVERY KISS IS MONITORED. EVERY TOUCH REPORTED.

Ten months of marriage kept at arm's length. Today, Kora and Damien finally move in together. Today, something starts watching.

Kora knew marrying a former Shadow Realm Officer meant complications. She didn't expect their happiness to trigger a tracker. Every moment of joy activates the mark on Damien's hand, reporting their intimacy to entities with unknown agendas. Their love is being catalogued. Studied. Used.

Damien is hiding something darker.

Something beyond reality is reaching for him, pulling him toward a place that shouldn't exist. It's teaching itself through his touch, learning from every connection. Those he once trusted may be orchestrating something he doesn't understand.

They chose each other over eternity. Sacrificed immortality for domesticity, power for partnership. Now unseen forces press in on their fragile new life, and Damien's connection to something vast and hungry grows stronger by the day.

In a city of steel and glass, ancient dimensions are stirring. In a penthouse filled with unpacked boxes and tentative hope, two people must decide how much surveillance their love can survive.

Dive into the second book of The Unweaving Trilogy-where every moment of happiness has a watcher, and love might be the most dangerous experiment of all. Will their bond survive forces beyond human understanding, or will Damien be pulled into the very darkness he once escaped?
