The Thirteenth Hour

In a world where every person is born with a prophecy carved into their skin, Elara Graye has always feared hers the most:

You will love, and you will lose.

When the boy she loves vanishes in a burst of wild magic, Elara refuses to accept destiny as truth. Desperate to defy fate, she seeks out Rowan Thorne, a reclusive seer cursed with a prophecy of his own:

You will be forgotten.

Together, they enter the Thirteenth Hour—a forbidden realm where memories flicker, time fractures, and every wish demands a sacrifice. As Elara dives deeper into fate magic, she begins to lose the memories she’s fighting to save… and finds herself drawn toward the man destiny never meant for her to love.

Her prophecy wasn’t warning her about losing him.

It was warning her about losing herself.

A romantic, atmospheric fantasy perfect for fans of Divine Rivals, Belladonna, and Once Upon a Broken Heart.
