The first thing Havayah ever saw was gray.

Not the gray of clouds, or ash, or dusk, but the kind that eats at the edges of everything. Born silent in a Dominion where colors sing, burn, heal, and kill, the world called her a void. Her village called her cursed. And Havayah? She called herself no-one, a hollow.

But a hollow is a dangerous thing to underestimate.

When the Ma’or Council brands her a threat for lacking Chromatic attunement—the sacred bond to color that defines life — an empathic investigator named Nefesh makes a choice: to protect her instead of condemning her. Together, they uncover the Council's devastating plan — to use the shattered Prismatic Nexus, remnants of the world’s raw luminance, to achieve absolute control over the color spectrums, while casting out those they deem “colorless.” The rebels fighting against them promise liberation, but their revolution holds its own darkness.

What no one realizes is that the girl they dismissed—the one born without a single thread of color—has no intention of playing savior. Through underwater cities, and skies stained with power, Havayah will forge her own path. Because when the world gave her nothing, she learned to take everything.

This is not a story of saving the world—
