Everything That Stays

In a world where every person is born with a prophecy etched into their skin, Elara Graye has always feared hers the most: You will love, and you will lose. She spent years pretending it meant nothing-until the day she loses Kieran, the boy who made her believe she could outrun fate. His death shatters her world and ignites a dangerous truth she can no longer ignore: prophecies can be rewritten... if you're willing to pay the price. Desperate to change her fate, Elara seeks out the mysterious seer Rowan Thorne, a man cursed with the prophecy You will be forgotten. Bitter, brilliant, and hiding scars deeper than his own inked fate, Rowan knows the cost of tampering with destiny better than anyone. He warns her to walk away. She won't. Together, they plunge into the forbidden magic of the Thirteenth Hour-a liminal realm where memories distort, time fractures, and the wrong move can unravel a life. Each ritual brings Elara closer to rewriting her prophecy... and closer to losing the memories she's fighting so hard to protect. But the truth waiting in the Thirteenth Hour is far crueler than the lines carved into her skin. Her prophecy was never about losing Kieran. It was about losing herself. As Elara uncovers the real meaning behind her fate, she must choose between the past she's clinging to and the future reaching for her-one she never expected, and one Rowan may not survive. A story of grief, fate, and the unexpected love that finds us in the wreckage. For fans of Divine Rivals, Once Upon a Broken Heart, and Belladonna. Some fates are written in silver. Elara Graye is determined to rewrite hers.
