Until We Fall
Updated at Nov 20, 2024, 19:26
In Rosewood High, where popularity reigns supreme and status can feel like destiny, two worlds are about to collide in a way that will shatter the boundaries they’ve built around themselves. Cyrus Whitlock is a loner by choice, haunted by personal tragedies that have stripped away his belief in connection. He spends his days slipping through life unnoticed, avoiding conversations, avoiding vulnerability, and, most of all, avoiding anything that might reveal the raw wounds he hides beneath his reserved façade. But beneath his silence is a heart that longs for more than the quiet, lonely existence he’s condemned himself to. He just doesn’t believe there’s anyone out there who could understand him—or see past the walls he’s spent years fortifying. Then there’s Luna Delaney, the shining star of Rosewood, a girl whose presence lights up every room she steps into. With her silver hair, infectious laugh that can charm anyone, and unapologetic confidence, Luna is the girl everyone wants to know, the one who seems to live her life as though every moment is a beautiful buy destructive flame. But beneath the glittering surface is a soul that feels trapped—caught between her family’s high expectations and her own self-destructive impulses. She craves freedom, connection, and the thrill of truly being seen, yet she’s terrified of the emptiness she feels, of what might happen if someone were to look closely enough to see her vulnerability. Their paths should never have crossed. They’re from different worlds, opposite ends of the spectrum of Rosewood High. And yet, when a chance school project throws them together, the sparks are immediate—and they’re not the good kind. He finds her insufferably reckless, while she finds his indifference almost insulting. Despite their differences and clear antagonism, Cyrus slowly finds himself inexplicably drawn to Luna, who embodies danger, passion, and a spark of light in his otherwise dark world. Luna, on the other hand, is shocked to feel something deeper with him—something raw, honest, and terrifyingly intimate that defies everything she’s ever believed about herself and the people around her. As they spend more time together, it feels like fate. Despite the odds, their connection sparks instantly, and what begins as antagonism quickly turns into a passionate, dark and irresistible romance that neither can resist. But it’s real. It’s achingly, terrifyingly real, and they both know it’s the kind of love that can burn them alive. But love, as they’re about to learn, is never simple. As they’re pushed closer, they’re also forced to confront the truths that haunt them: The memories that make Cyrus avoid connection at all costs, while Luna’s family harbors secrets that could destroy any chance they have at happiness. And yet, in each other, they find the possibility of an intense love that is as imperfect and broken as they are. Can they truly find their "perfect moment" together, or will the secrets of their past tear them apart before they can ever get the chance to embrace it fully? Until We Fall is a story about the beautiful, messy and complicated heights of young love and the darkness that lives in the human heart. It’s about finding yourself and finding someone who sees you, scars and all. And, more than anything, it’s about the truth that sometimes, the people who change us the most are the ones who push us to our limits, break down our defenses, and force us to live fully—even if we’re terrified of what we might find within ourselves.
