In the magical realm of Teleria, Nyara Darkwhisper survives by keeping her distance—from people, from attachments, and from the past she refuses to name. She’s built her life on control: over her blade, her magic, and most importantly, her own mind. But when a sharp-tongued mercenary steps into her path and a ghost from her past refuses to stay buried, that control begins to crack—and Nyara is forced to confront the one truth she’s long avoided: some wounds never truly heal.
