'Some things that return are not what they seem.' Two weeks after the battle, Lena stands alone, the weight of the packs - and a legacy she barely understands - resting on her shoulders. A stirring in the forest hints that what was lost may not be gone. Far beyond her knowledge, allies are made, and bonds are created. Secrets long buried will surface, and choices she never imagined will demand everything she has.

'Some ghosts don't haunt you. They wait for you to come home.' When Lena returns to the town she left behind, she's not just chasing shadows -she's chasing answers. But the past doesn't welcome her quietly. Whispers of a night gone wrong. A family lost. A boy who vanished without a trace. Now, years later, he's back. Changed. Dangerous. And not entirely human. As tensions rise and old wounds reopen, Lena finds herself pulled toward the one person she was never meant to find - and the truth no one wants to speak aloud. Some bonds were never meant to break. Some secrets were never meant to keep quiet.
