The Veil Between Us

THE VEIL BETWEEN US

In a world where touch must be earned, two people refuse to fake it.

At Lock Age, the Veil seals around everybody-an inch of impossible distance that turns contact into a privilege earned only by completing three Seals with one true match. Fail, or cheat, and you burn your ability to bond forever.

Kairo Bennett builds stages for other artists because he's too afraid to stand on one himself. Sapphire Rivers sings the truths she can't say out loud and refuses every shortcut-because she's seen exactly what shortcuts cost.

Neither is looking for love.

But the moment they meet, the system does something it isn't supposed to do:

RESONANT: UNKNOWN MATCH

A bond the system can't categorize is a bond it wants to control.

To reach each other, Kairo and Sapphire will have to be honest in a world that sells lies, patient in a world built on shortcuts, and brave enough to uncover the truth about the Veil itself.

Because if the Veil is hiding something, then the distance between them may be more than an inch.

It may be the foundation of everything they believe.

Some worlds keep lovers apart with distance. This one does it with an inch.
