The kingdom of Velirium has spent ten years pretending to be at peace after the war ended. The nobles smile. Marble gleams. The kingdom hums with fragile peace that no one dares to examine too closely. The illusion of peace falters the moment Seraphine Corvallis returns to court. Once the quiet daughter of a noble house, she vanished into the hands of assassins after her family fell-reappearing now as someone sharper, quieter, and far more unsettling than the girl they remember. Something is calling her home, and she intends to find the truth long buried beneath the ashes and marble. Velirium shifts around her. Whispers arise. Old loyalties stir. And the magic that has slept since the Sundering begins to breathe again, slow as dawn and twice as dangerous. She has returned for the truth- And the truth has teeth. In a kingdom built on secrets, her quiet vengeance may be the spark that wakes what should have never been forgotten.
