Summary

She wasn't supposed to touch the power. She wasn't supposed to survive the fall. Iris serves in the Golden Palace, a world of blinding perfection where a single mistake means death. She knows her place: invisible, silent, expendable. Until the night she becomes the vessel for the Flower, the chaotic, forbidden source of the world’s gravity. Now, she is no longer a servant. She is a target. Hunted by the Golden King, who views her as a stolen object, Iris has only one escape: The Void. She plunges into the Dark World, a realm of nightmares, rot, and eternal night. Waiting for her in the shadows is King Alexander. He is the monster of the bedtime stories, cold, lethal, and ancient. He should kill the intruder instantly. He should send the light back to where it belongs. But for the first time in a century, the King of Rot feels a pulse in the silence. Alexander doesn't just want to protect the fugitive who crashed through into his world. He wants to keep her. With armies massing at the border and a war between Light and Dark threatening to shatter reality, Iris must make a choice: Return to the light and burn? Or stay in the dark and rule?

Author’s Note: A Statement on Transparency

Hi Reader,

First off, let me say thank you for choosing to read my title. There is something we need to discuss before you dive into this story. I want to extend a gesture of absolute honesty and respect to you. From day one of my writing journey, my goal has been to build a foundation of trust with the people who spend their valuable time inside my worlds. To maintain that promise, I want to be completely transparent about the creation of this book.

Artificial Intelligence was utilized as a collaborative tool in the writing process of this novel.

However, I want to be entirely clear about what that means: the soul of this book belongs completely to me.

Every character you meet, every plot twist that unfolds, every emotional arc, world-building detail, and literary device was entirely conceived and structured by my own hand. The visual concept and direction for the book cover were entirely my vision. In the creation of this manuscript, the AI acted strictly as my instrument, while I functioned completely as the director. It was a digital typewriter, helping me smooth out prose and accelerate production, but the heart, the creativity, and the human empathy driving this story are mine alone.

I understand that readers hold diverse and deeply valid feelings regarding the use of AI in modern literature, especially when others have acted in bad faith. By sharing this with you upfront, my goal is to respect your autonomy and give you the informed choice before you read the first chapter.

I put an immense amount of love, labor, and late-night dedication into directing this art. I take my writing seriously and put so much effort into my work that I refuse to lie to any of my readers, which is why I give YOU the choice to continue or not. If you choose to step inside this world with me, I hope the journey resonates with you.

Thank you for your time, your trust, and your support.

And with that out of the way, happy reading!
