The Horizon Between Us
One world, two continents, and a lie that has lasted a thousand years.
In the Eastern Domain, a land of jagged obsidian and purple skies, power is measured by the length of one's horns and the intensity of their Prana. Arjun is a "shadow-born"—a human with no horns, no magic, and no future. To the demons who raised him, he is a defect. To survive, he relies on a science they’ve long forgotten: physics.
In the Western Kingdom, a realm of marble and gold, Isha is the perfect soldier. A demon girl raised as a human weapon, she is the "Gilded Grace" of the Royal Academy. But her loyalty is a leash, held in place by a magical Slave Collar hidden beneath a silk ribbon. To the humans, she is a refined monster. To herself, she is a bird in a cage.
When a desperate escape and a botched military raid throw them together in the death-trap of the Seema-Lands, the unthinkable happens. The "weak" human saves the "monster" by breaking the unbreakable—her collar.
Now, branded as traitors by both empires, Arjun and Isha must navigate a world that wants them dead. As they uncover the truth of the Great Split, they realize they aren't enemies or outcasts—they are the bridge to a new world.
In a war of fire and light, their bond is the only thing that’s real.
