Until We Were The Same

In the Bronx, love doesn't save you - it possesses you.

Maniyah Adams thought she'd survived everything the city could throw at her - heartbreak, betrayal, even the slow fire of her own mistakes. But one night, under a haze of smoke and neon, she meets Eden Cruz, a red-haired stranger with eyes like confession and a kiss that feels like déjà vu.

Eden's touch is beautiful. Eden's kiss is deadly. And when their lips meet, Maniyah wakes up changed - carrying a piece of Eden inside her, a curse that blurs the line between love, obsession, and identity itself.

As Maniyah unravels, her little sister Amelia begins to dream of them both - of burning buildings, gold light, and a woman who can wear another's life like skin. Together, they uncover a haunting that stretches back generations, born from love so fierce it refused to die.

Now the Bronx is waking with them. Murals move. Smoke breathes. The city itself remembers their names.

And if Maniyah can't control the power Eden left behind... it won't just take her - it will take everyone.
