Celeste Amoria Vale grew up in the upper stratosphere of society.

Her family, the Vale Dynasty, controls a multinational biotech empire responsible for funding entire research districts, elite academies, and aesthetic-engineering institutes across the world. They do not simply “donate”; they purchase influence the way others buy jewelry.

Riven Astra entered the world with everything tilted in her favor.

Her parents are two of the most decorated athletes in modern history, a pair of Olympians whose fame turned into wealth, and whose wealth turned into obsession. They believed legacy should be designed, so from the day Riven was born, she became the center of their next great project.
