Before the promise, there was love.

At eighteen, Élise Adler falls for Noah Callahan, the boy who teaches her how to live beyond duty.
Their first love becomes the vow that shapes everything to come.

Power, guilt, and the forbidden spark that breaks every rule.

Élise & Noah

I never believed in love that could ruin you.
Not until him.

At eighteen, my life was already decided — study psychology at UniGE, join the Sceau Blanc like every Adler before me, and never, ever lose control.
Then I met Noah Callahan.
Brilliant, infuriating, impossible.
He argued with professors, laughed at the rules, and made me question everything I was raised to protect.

He wasn’t a rebellion; he was revelation.
The boy who showed me how to live outside of duty, how to feel without permission.

Days blurred into nights, lectures into stolen glances, and suddenly the future felt ours.
Perfect. Endless. Untouchable.

Until the day the world stopped.
And one test result changed everything.
