Some powers are inherited. Others are stolen. Hers was never meant to be given. Eighteen-year-old Lyra thought the most terrifying thing she'd face this year was graduation. But when a dying stranger bleeds strange power into her in a moonlit alley-his golden eyes dimming, whispering words in a language not meant for humans-her life fractures. She wakes the next morning with a buzzing in her bones, memories that aren't hers, and a name echoing in her head: Naethaeless. - Kael Vorrin broke all of them. Once the most feared assassin among the Myrakyn, Kael slaughtered his own kin and stole their gifts-ten in all. His final act: passing them to a human girl. Now Lyra carries his legacy. Hunted by those who want the gifts returned. Haunted by a past not her own. And drawn toward a world she was never meant to enter. The mists are rising. The veil is thinning. She wasn't born Myrakyn. But she might be the end of them.
