How much would you be willing to lose for the peace of your people? Ilvarion never wanted to be heir to anything. He prefers the silence of the Autana forest and the music of his flute to the obligations of the Elven crown. But when his father sends him to spy on the Capital City disguised as a troubadour, a melody leads him straight to Tallah: a human adventurer with a sword of fire and a history as shattered as his own. What begins as an impossible attraction—an elf and a human, a union his people deem heresy—draws them into uncovering a secret that the empire has buried beneath generations of feigned prosperity. While his brother Lirien—a warlord and spy—tries to contain the chaos Ilvarion keeps unleashing, both brothers draw ever closer to something neither are prepared to face. How much can a heart break before it turns into something else? Centralia: Song of Life and Oblivion — the origin story no one told you.
