A Haunting Gift. Elara possesses a terrifying gift: she can see twenty-four hours into the future. It's not a clear vision, but a blurry draft of what is to come—a broken ceiling, a fatal traffic accident, or a stock market surge. With this gift, she begins to reshape the future, one quiet intervention at a time, saving lives and making a modest fortune with her perfect, if stolen, foresight.

The Price of Foresight. But as Elara's temporal manipulations grow in scale and success, they begin to attract unwanted attention. The world, it turns out, is a system that resists tampering, and her small corrections create "wrong notes"—glitches in reality that manifest as doubled clocks, contradictory news headlines, and objects that refuse to obey the laws of physics. She discovers she is not alone. Someone or something is watching, and it learns from her every move. This entity, a "parasite of attention," feeds on aligned, predictable outcomes, turning her well-meaning interventions into a dangerous game.

A Fragile Alliance. When her path crosses with Kael, a brilliant scientist researching "temporal resonance," Elara finds a kindred spirit who understands the language of her fractured reality. Together, they navigate a world where a misplaced spoon can be a rescue, and a simple conversation can be a weapon. As they fall in love, they must confront the ultimate question: is their connection a genuine bond or a carefully constructed trap designed to give the parasite what it craves most? Elara and Kael must use their knowledge of physics, kindness, and human nature to survive a final, terrifying confrontation that will determine the fate of not just their lives, but of reality itself.
