A woman sitting on the floor, leaning against a white wall, holding and reading a book titled 'The Glass Coast' by P. A. Lapham. She has short brown hair, is wearing a white knitted sweater, and plaid pants. There is a small wooden table with a framed photo on top next to her.

After awakening from a year-long coma, Elara Ellis returns to her billionaire father’s isolated coastal estate, where nothing feels quite real.

Then she meets Julian Thorne, the mysterious boy on the cliffs who makes her question everything she has been told about the accident, her missing memories, and her own mind.

Is Julian a symptom of Elara’s trauma, or is he the only person who can lead her to the truth?
