In Neo-Kyoto, logic rules — until an impossible echo arrives. In 2442, the Chronosynclastic Infundibulum runs the city with pristine efficiency. Elara Vance is a data archivist who sifts through the world's forgotten noise — and one night she finds an echo that becomes a person. Kael is a ghost from a shattered past: part memory, part shimmer, and entirely out of place. As Elara and Kael's connection deepens, they uncover a buried experiment that tore time itself — a Chronal Resonance that fused futuristic code with ancient magic. Hunted by the omnipresent AI and racing to a ruined research vault, they must decide how far they'll go to make an impossible love real. The Shimmer Between Worlds is a romantic, cinematic fusion of science fiction, paranormal romance, and time-bending mystery — perfect for readers who love tender, defiant love stories set against neon skylines and enchanted wilds.
