Kaia, daughter of the ocean gods, is convinced that her life is a miracle. Years after escaping the underground prison where she and her siren sisters were kept, she is making the best of a bad situation. Her only goal is to stay alive and stay off the radar. Sounds simple, but life is never as such. Nero is not done hunting her and it seems he has sent a particularly driven werewolf after her. No matter how far she runs, her hunter always seems to be one step ahead of her.

Sara attempts to escape the weight of her past, stepping out of the white building where she had faced her grief alone. She believes the crimson rose creature is hers to battle, a manifestation of her sorrow and silence. But as she confronts it, she discovers her mother nearby, and the truth unravels: the creature was not born solely from Sara's pain, but from her mother's hidden wounds and unspoken losses. Her mother reveals that the crimson rose grew stronger through generations of silence, especially after the death of Sara's brother. What Sara thought was her private torment being in fact a legacy passed down, rooted in her mother's grief. The creature's crimson eyes are the embodiment of sorrow inherited, not created anew. In burning the roses, Sara realizes she has severed not only her own suffering but also the shadow of her mother's silence. The battle was never hers alone-the creature existed because of her mother's choices, her secrets, and her silence. Now, Sara must decide whether to continue carrying that silence or break free from it, stepping into a future unbound by her family's hidden grief.
