Her gift has always made relationships safe and predictable, until a new transfer student, Soren Ash, appears with the impossible symbol “∞” attached to his shadow. At first, Liora thinks it means he will change her life forever. Then she learns the truth: infinity does not mean endless affection. It means an unfinished equation—one that can only be solved when two people choose something no number can predict.
As Liora investigates Soren’s strange symbol, she uncovers the hidden history of Veyr: a city built on calculated futures, stolen choices, and a machine beneath the clouds that assigns everyone a “proper” emotional destiny. To save Soren, herself, and the city from becoming perfectly predictable, Liora must do the one thing her gift never taught her—trust someone without knowing the result.
