Two worlds. One magical wall. A love that could shatter them both.

Zin, a teen from a quiet agricultural faction, is just trying to survive—until a dangerous brush with the border's magic awakens an unimaginable power inside him. Across the enchanted wall stalks Eveline, a lethal Jin warrior. She is taller, faster, and raised to despise humans. She knows she should kill him on sight. But her soul is mesmerized, betraying the bitter hatred burned into her blood.

As their forbidden love ignites, a hidden third party pulls the strings from the shadows, using their secret romance to ignite a devastating war for total control.

The magic is breaking, two worlds are on a collision course, and this ending is only the beginning.

"Two worlds. One wall. A love that could shatter them both."


🌍 Lumeria

Orbited by multiple moons and ravaged by wild, magical weather, Lumeria is a planet of breathtaking extremes. But the world is sharply divided by the Great Wall—a massive, shimmering barrier of ancient magic that cuts across the continent, splitting two radically different civilizations.

On one side lies the human domain, a gorgeous but damned landscape. It is a world of stark contrasts: modern firearms and gritty technology mixed with a rigid, Victorian-inspired class system. Seven factions are locked in a brutal, bloody war for resources. The Tillage Ward, where Zin lives, is a lush, green agricultural haven pressed right against the Wall. But further inland, the wealthy Capital is a heavily industrialized machine, surrounded by toxic, ruined dead zones left in the wake of human greed.

Across the border lies the Jin homeland, a civilization of indescribable beauty and hyper-advanced technology. The Jin are a stunning, physically superior species—taller, faster, and stronger than humans. Their grey eyes hold an otherworldly calm, while the royal bloodline's eyes glow a striking purple under certain moons. Yet, beneath their perfect, civilized exterior is a rotten core. A dark, hypocritical society of elites uses forbidden magic to manipulate their own people, brainwashing them into despising humanity.

But the human-Jin conflict is only a fraction of the truth. Beyond the Wall and the war lies the rest of Lumeria—a massive, untamed planet featuring a vast, unforgiving Sahara desert and a deep, mysterious ocean. Uninvolved species live out their lives in these distant lands, completely separate from the border conflict. To them, the warring humans and Jin are nothing but a forgotten myth.

In a world this big, a forbidden love between a human boy and a Jin princess should mean nothing. But it might be the only thing that matters.

Main Protagonists

Zin Hiddleton
The Awakened
An orphan from the Tillage Ward, Zin has always been more comfortable with soil and harvests than the brutal politics of the human factions. Quiet, observant, and fiercely loyal to his small circle, he wants nothing more than a peaceful life. But a forbidden brush with the Great Wall awakens a volatile, ancient power within him, marking him as a weapon in a war he never wanted. Now, he must balance the raw, dangerous magic threatening to consume him with the impossible love he feels for the enemy princess.
Princess Eveline Aurelian
The Jin Princess
The Crown Princess of the Jin, groomed to be the absolute pinnacle of perfection. To the public, she is a vision of ethereal grace. But beneath this flawless, gilded mask lies a restless spirit. Combat and physical training are her secret escapes from the suffocating hypocrisy of the court. Lethal and observant, she sees through her family's dark magic and lies—which is exactly why she is so utterly captivated by the raw, unpolished reality of a human boy.

The Good & Mystical

Aether-Moths
Aether-Moths
Massive, ethereal moths with wings that shimmer in shades of pale blue and violet. They only hatch and take flight when the Violet Moon is at its peak.

They are naturally drawn to pure magic, which is why they are inexplicably attracted to Zin.
Luminoxes
Luminoxes
Fox-like creatures with faintly glowing, bioluminescent fur. They are native to the lush forests of the Tillage Ward. Highly intelligent and elusive, they are known to guide lost travelers out of the woods. They are considered a good omen by the common folk of the human domain.

Colossal, gentle creatures that drift high above the clouds in the untamed parts of Lumeria. Their low, haunting songs can be heard echoing across the Sahara desert at night. They avoid the war entirely, serving as a reminder of how vast and beautiful the world used to be.

The Bad & Lethal

The Hollowed
The Hollowed
Terrifying, mutated creatures that roam the deepest parts of the Dead Zones. They were once human or Jin who were caught in the unstable magical surges of the Wall.

Crimson Weavers
Crimson Weavers
Monstrous, spider-like creatures that thrive in the toxic ruins. Their silk is incredibly strong but acidic. They only hunt during the cycle of the Crimson Moon, spinning massive webs across the wastelands that can dissolve flesh in seconds. The dark magic elites of the Jin sometimes harvest their venom for torture.
Echo-Stalkers

Nightmarish, shadowy beasts that appear near the weak spots of the Great Wall. They are made entirely of dark, shifting smoke and mimic the voices of loved ones to lure their prey close.

📖 Lore Glossary

The Great WallA massive, shimmering barrier of ancient magic that splits the continent, keeping humans and Jin separated.
The JinA physically superior species living behind the Wall. They possess advanced technology and ancient magic.

The Three Moons

The Violet Moon (Aetheria) The central, largest moon, glowing a powerful blue-violet. It is heavily associated with the ancient magic of the Wall. The Jin revere this moon above all others—their royal family's eyes glow purple when it is full, and they consider it a symbol of purity and power. Humans view it with suspicion, as strange magical surges happen when it is highest in the sky. It pulses in perfect rhythm with the power awakening inside Zin.
The Pale Moon (Selene) The smaller, white moon. It represents order, humanity, and the physical world. The human factions use it to track their calendar and farming cycles. It is viewed as the stabilizing force that keeps the world grounded.
The Crimson Moon (Malacor) The red moon. It represents chaos, bloodshed, and the darker aspects of Lumeria. During its cycle, the war tends to escalate, dark magic is at its strongest, and hidden enemies move most openly.
