Long before the blood moon rose, before Kaelen's name was ever whispered into the wind, there was another. A healer's apprentice with fire in her soul and secrets buried in her veins.
When a wounded stranger stumbles into her world, carrying forbidden magic and an omen she was raised to fear, she must choose between the path of tradition and the pull of something ancient - and dangerous.
This is the story of the first soulbond. Of the roots that tangled long before Kaelen's birth. And the woman who risked everything to call her into being.
A prequel to Daughter of the Blood Moon*, this novella stands alone - a tale of love, loss, and the legacy of magic carried in whispers beneath the ash tree.*
