    On the isolated island of Kaarensaare, the quiet fishing village of Vaikusrand survives alongside something older than any map will admit.

In a village that pretends magic doesn't exist, Elia Kallas grows up trying to ignore the spirits that walk beside humans in plain sight. Ever since a mysterious spirit saved him from a deadly blizzard, he has lived between denial and belief-between the normal world and the one everyone refuses to acknowledge. When the S.M.D.C. Inspectors arrive-tasked with hunting supernatural beings-the fragile peace shatters. Secrets rise, spirits awaken, and Elia is pulled into a conflict where he must decide whether to hide the truth... or finally face it. In a world that wants magic gone, what happens to the boy who owes it his life?
