Daarien Nardir has just left his home in Inaytus for the first time in his life in search of his older sibling who went missing half a decade ago. He has made his way north, and, having reached the city of Sewald finds his funds dwindling. To support his continued search, he opens a gym in the city.

Cathra Sodar has spent years in Sewald, running a bookstore and doing research to try and solve a centuries-old magical mystery—along with a newer related mystery with even larger implications—but has found herself losing steam as she is able to make little headway in the insular magical structures of the city.

With the new gym opening directly next door to the bookstore, and Daarien and Cathra's apartments now sharing a hallway, the two quickly grow close. What happens, though, when kept secrets threaten to wreck what they have created together?
