Born in the shadow of Amarantha's brutal reign, 𝑵𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒆 has never seen the world beyond temple walls. Raised in isolation at the foot of the mountains in Cesere, her life has been one of ritual, restraint, and restless longing for answers she's longed stopped asking for. But when Hybern's forces descend on her temple months after Amarantha's fall, she is forced to watch her sanctuary burn - and with it, the only family she's ever known. Rescued by her court's High Lord, she is offered refuge in the House of Wind, a place where ancient magic breathes over stone and scarred wings silhouette a starlit sky. But grief leaves her hollow, and dreams of blood-stained snow and a tether to something unknown stalk her sleep in the library beneath the House.

A truth she was never told - buried beneath a life built on lies. To stop what is coming, Nephele must uncover what was taken from her. She must decide what - and who - she's willing to fight for before the Cauldron comes to full power. And what it will take to awaken the 𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 within her heart. ═══════ 𝑨𝑪𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑭 - ... 𝒔𝒍𝒐𝒘-𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 ⋆⁺₊❅. 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘹 𝘧𝘦𝘮!𝘰𝘤 𝘹 𝘢𝘻𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘭 ⁺.❆₊⋆𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵
