When We Are No Longer Broken

Some wounds are meant to stay buried. Others refuse to be contained.

Seren is a fracture-mender, a healer who sees the invisible breaks inside the soul and helps others become whole again. For seven years, she has lived quietly on the border, repairing grief, guilt, and hidden pain—while refusing to confront the silver-scarred fractures of her own past as a war mage.

Then the man she once bound on a battlefield appears at her door.

Theron carries shadow magic that is consuming him from the inside, a power sealed by Seren herself years ago in an act of mercy that was never meant to last. The binding is failing. The darkness is bleeding through. And when it breaks, it will destroy not only him, but everything in its path.

Bound by shared history, mutual damage, and a connection neither of them fully understands, Seren and Theron are forced onto a dangerous journey toward the Veil's Edge—a place where broken things are not healed, but transformed. Along the road, shadow tests light, healing demands sacrifice, and love becomes inseparable from pain.

Because becoming whole does not mean returning to who you were.
It means surviving what you are.

A slow-burn romantasy about damaged souls, shadow magic, reluctant trust, and the terrifying cost of choosing healing over control.
