Sometimes, I wish life came with a warning label. Like, "Do not pursue ancient artifacts if you value your sanity," or "Beware of mysterious, brooding strangers with a knack for infuriating banter and saving your life in equal measure." But no, I dove headfirst into this mess—armed with a dagger, a penchant for sarcasm, and a stubborn streak a mile wide. What I didn't expect? That the artifact wasn't the only thing with the power to change my life. Now, I'm stuck in a race against shadowy creatures, ancient curses, and my own insecurities—with a partner who alternates between charming and maddening. He says he's hiding from his past, but the way his eyes linger on me makes me wonder if he's searching for something else entirely. Together, we'll uncover secrets buried in forgotten ruins, face dangers lurking in the dark, and, if we're lucky, make it out alive. Who needs normal when adventure is this exhilarating?
