The lights keep you safe.
Until they don’t.

Lena Virel has spent her entire life inside Safe Zone 7—where the lights never go out, the rules never change, and the darkness is something to fear.

Because in the dark… something watches.

When a shadow begins moving without her, Lena knows something is wrong.

When it touches her—
marks her—
claims her—

Everything she thought was safe begins to unravel.

He is Kael.
An elite Phase-Shifter.
A warrior born of shadow.

He exists where light cannot reach…
and now, he’s chosen her as his mate.

By day, Lena is just another citizen under constant surveillance.
By night, she belongs to something forbidden—something powerful—something that could get her executed if discovered.

But Kael is not the only one watching.

Others are coming.

Hunters. Rivals. Predators drawn to the mark burning beneath her skin.

And when the Safe Zone begins to fall, Lena is forced into a choice that will change her forever:

Remain in the light… and lose everything.
Or step into the darkness… and become something more than human.

Something they will fear.

Something they will fight.

Something they may never control.

He marked her in the dark.
Now the entire world is coming for her.
