  Deep in the crystal spires of Subterra, where gem miners unearth facets that pierce veils of illusion and spire hearts pulse with subterranean magic, miner Thorne unearths a love as radiant as the crystals he seeks— in the form of Lira, a veiled spirit bound to the depths' luminous core. Their discovery, glowing in faceted light, shatters the veil—or awakens guardian golems of stone wrath. As they descend echo chambers and vein-riddled chasms, pursued by claim-jumping rivals and crystal curses, Thorne's miner's grit fuses with Lira's ethereal glow, revealing a spire prophecy of unveiled hearts. When a collapsing shaft unleashes shard storms, they must pierce the core to stabilize their bond. In the depths of crystal veils, where every facet reflects desire and every spire guards a secret, their love becomes the gem that illuminates the buried world.
