They say the threads of fate are woven by the gods. But what if one slipped the loom? What if it bled, and burned, and chose her? Astara was only trying to save her brother. Instead, she shattered a seal no one remembered casting—and something ancient awoke, older than kingdoms, older than names. Now it follows her, coils around her like breathless prophecy, and it will not let go. Together with a handful of ragged allies, Astara is swept into the unraveling truths of Eletria—a continent scarred by forgotten wars and ruled by lies stitched into its very soil. The cost of knowing will be high. But the cost of protecting the ones she loves… might be everything.
