"The war is over. The secrets are out. But for those left behind, the silence is the loudest storm of all." In the aftermath of Guanyin Temple, the cultivation world breathes a collective sigh of relief. But somewhere, the relationship of two brothers remains a broken promise. Wei Wuxian travels in the hope of finding a piece of himself he lost on the way-a soul wandering to outrun the echoes of the Burial Mounds and the weight of a life twice lived.

But as the dust settles, new questions arise. What kind of world are they leaving for the next generation?

Will he remain a silent observer, or is he weaving a new web that will force them all to face the ghosts they've tried so hard to bury? Will they emerge unscathed? Can they truly reclaim the bonds they lost, or will the debts of the past finally consume them all?

Leila Ardeneux was born into a family of werewolves. By every principle of biology and logic, she should be one. But something is wrong with her, something that has caused her skin to be hairless and her teeth unsharp, something that has made her an outcast among her pack. She found her only solace in her best friend, Zakai Belfiore. He meant the world to her and she to him. They grew up together, playing childish games and pulling spiteful pranks. It was them against the world and they were inseparable, until they were torn apart. When they were fourteen, Zakai's family left the pack, thereby forcing him to leave Leila. After two years without him, Leila leaves as well. She runs away from her abusive pack to build a life as a human. For three years it works, and for the first time, her life is almost peaceful. Then one night a familiar scent wafts through the air, a dead body appears under a bridge, and someone is stalking her new human family. As the past converges upon the volatile present, Leila finds that she cannot outrun her blood so easily--or the right her birth has damned her to. Weekly updates! Cover made by @Silverless

This collection traces what survives when everything else is stripped away. Across three generations, these poems move through fractured inheritance, contested identity, and the quiet rituals that hold a family together. A father's Judaism observed from the edge of belonging. A mother's dual inheritance, carried between traditions, languages, and faiths. And a grandmother who arrived in Scotland as a child through the Kindertransport, rebuilding a life from the remnants of one that was taken. At the centre of it all are candles, names, and the weight of memory - not as history alone, but as something lived daily: in mezuzot kissed at doorways, in Shabbat light, in documents rediscovered, in stories half-told and fully felt. These are poems about survival, but not only survival through suffering. They are about survival through continuation - through ritual, through family, through the stubborn insistence on keeping what others tried to erase. What remains is not only what was lost. It is what was built in its place.
