In a world where ancient magic is tied to truth itself, silence can be deadlier than any blade.Evelyn Valreth was born into a gilded cage, heir to a powerful coastal house, bound by duty, and watched by those who fear what stirs beneath her skin. When her buried magic awakens in blood and fire, she flees across sea and land, hunted not just for what she is, but for who she could become.
Far from the court and crowns, Kaelen of Selunara walks a quieter path, haunted by visions of a growing threat and a loved one lost. His dreams have always led him to forgotten truths. Now, they lead him to her.
As the fires of war begin to smolder beneath the surface of Ardenthal, an ancient enemy moves in silence, hidden among shadows as they erase entire lives. To survive, Evelyn and Kaelen must navigate a land unraveling under its own forgotten history. Where elves and werebeasts guard the deserts and forests and dragons rule the skies, magic speaks only in the language that is true.
But some truths were never meant to be spoken.
And some destinies cannot be escaped.
