In a city swallowed nightly by fog, luck can be manipulated, emotions can be bent, and reality itself can be nudged—if you’re one of the rare few known as an Echo. But power comes with a price. When a string of unexplained deaths begins to surface, each more “accidental” than the last, one detail connects them all: the victims were Echoes who had grown careless… visible. Someone is tracking them. Someone who understands exactly how their abilities work—and how to stop them. As paranoia spreads and alliances fracture, a small group of Echoes must decide who to trust in a world where even their own senses can betray them. Because the killer isn’t just hunting power— They’re hunting exposure. And in a city built on coincidence, the moment your ability stops looking like luck… is the moment you die.
