Liora dances because she has to. She flirts to survive, hides her animal ears under glamour, and suppresses the storm magic churning beneath her skin. As one of the Aimnhe-a half-spirit people nearly erased by the theocratic Concord-her existence is already a crime. But when her lightning surges loose mid-performance, Liora is forced to flee with Raeya, a former divine enforcer who severed her connection to her god . Together they escape to the city of Cindrel, where Liora becomes a symbol she never meant to be: powerful, visible, and dangerous. Their love is slow, fragile, and firelit. But nothing burns quietly for long. As betrayals shatter the fragile resistance, and gods begin to awaken, Liora must choose: run away with Raeya and finally be free-or stand up for the people who still wear chains, even if it kills her.
