Elya doesn't remember the fire.
Or the name carved into its ashes.
Or the boy who still looks at her like she's made of ghostlight and heartbreak.
But the Gate does.
And it's waking.
Across the seven kingdoms, ancient verses stir - fragments of a prophecy only she seems able to find. Her bracelet pulses like a warning. Magic, long buried, begins to breathe again. And the six crown princes - once strangers, now tethered by history - are watching her too closely.
One of them loved a girl named Elaris.
One of them never stopped.
As the world teeters toward war, Elya is caught between a past she cannot remember and a future she never asked for.
She doesn't want to be chosen.
She isn't a weapon.
But the Gate has already made its choice.
And some loves are written in the stars - even when the stars forget.
