Unforeseen Consequences

Synopsis

Lady Evangeline Greystone believes that attraction is just chemistry: dopamine and adrenaline. The daughter of a duke, a mathematician by training, and the owner of an entirely planned life, she spends a few days in Las Vegas, away from her family and the spotlight, when she meets in a dark bar a man with a dominant gaze who says no more than his first name. Four nights of sex, secrets, and anonymity later, each goes their own way, certain that it is over. A month later, two pink lines change everything. And he is not just a man with secrets: he is the crown prince of Azhar, and her baby is the future of a kingdom. Now there is a palace, a kingdom, and a single demand: marry. Not for love, but out of duty.

"The fire in the hearth never truly goes out. It merely waits for new firewood." Apparently abandoned, this old mansion harbors countless horrors, and those who dare to explore its secrets may discover that the greatest danger lurks not only between its walls, but also among themselves. Whether because they received a mysterious invitation, because a friend disappeared, or simply out of curiosity to explore the manor, everyone will eventually discover that, inside, nothing happens by chance — except, perhaps, the arrangement of the rooms. If they want to survive, they will need to pay attention to every detail and unravel the residence's greatest secret before it is too late. But one question remains: why, with each new visit, does the fire in the hearth seem to burn more intensely?

The world has ended. There is no future left on the outside, nor humanity waiting to be rescued. What exists is a reality preserved by the will of a single person who keeps the memory of the world and everything that remains of humanity. The problem is that not everyone agrees that this existence should continue... Eine, a survivor of the catastrophe that destroyed human reality, dedicates her existence to ending the last traces of the people who were once at the center of these events. But, being unable to interfere directly in a dream that still continues, she must find hosts among the people who inhabit it. Her new attempt is Claire Williams. At nineteen, Claire has very ordinary concerns: university, the debts she took on to study, and the future she believes she is building. Now, however, she shares her own consciousness with a young man who knows a reality she cannot accept. As the boundaries between memory and existence begin to dissolve, those who walk between the two extremes will have to confront a question for which there may be no right answer: when the world has already ended, what does it mean to keep living?

In São Jerônimo das Pedras, the sky begins to descend over the rooftops, and Ofélia, a restorer accustomed to fixing objects of difficult temperament, discovers that even the firmament can have poorly made seams. Among insubordinate umbrellas, impossible cities, and small inconveniences, an extraordinary occurrence transforms the lives of people who believed they knew their place in the world well enough. The Year the Sky Came Down Low explores belonging, the bonds between generations, the fear of change, and the difficult art of allowing what we love to find new paths. A story about departures, reunions, and the things we must learn to let go, even when we devote our entire lives to preserving them.

In a city devastated by war, we follow the journey of two survivors who have learned, each in their own way, to live with violence, loss, and loneliness. He does not know that he saved her life. She knows only that he is more dangerous than the killers who threatened her. Neither of them seeks company. Nor do they believe that there is still room for kindness in a world where surviving demands so much. But a dead boy and an almost insignificant act of kindness end up intertwining their fates. Between small acts of care, silences, and difficult choices, two strangers discover that surviving the war may not be as difficult as learning to live after everything they have lost.
