The Half-Life of Us
Overview
"Captivating and Raw."
"A breath-taking blend of fantasy and romance." In a city where magic is finite, power is paid for in life itself. For the elite Alchemists, dominance is maintained by "binding" to commoners called Resonators - living conduits who wither and die while fueling spells. Jasmine is a Resonator, invisible and protective in the slums, who knows Alchemists only as predators. But when her brother is framed and dragged to the Iron Vault, she must save him, and that requires an Alchemist. She finds Luca, a disgraced prodigy and outcast, who needs the monumental power Jasmine possesses to perform a forbidden ritual and expose the High Council. The bargain is struck: Freedom for her brother, in exchange for Total Binding. The ritual creates a physical and spiritual tether, trapping then within ten feet and forcing a blurring of consciousness - the Static - where memories, emotions, and dreams merge. As they navigate the dangerous path to the Capital, Jasmine finds a haunted man, not a monster; Luca discovers a spirit more radiant than any shadow of his past. The connection sparks more than just magic. But their journey reveals a terrifying truth: The Council is harvesting Resonators to create immortal batteries. Now fugitives, Jasmine and Luca are trapped in a feedback loop of shared sensation, realizing they are no longer two individuals, but one entity. To stop the Harvest, they must complete Luca's ritual - a ritual that's designed to consume them both. This is an "enemies to lovers" fantasy combined with a "morally gray lover interest".This item is Non-Returnable
