Summary: In the fortified city of Carcassonne, Eli, a humble yet respected midwife, walks a path defined by both service and quiet yearning. Known for her skill in healing and rumored to hold mystical knowledge, Eli is a figure who straddles the realms of life and death, often venturing where others dare not. However, beneath her selfless work and quiet resilience lies a hidden desire-to become more than a healer, to embody the strength and honor of the knights who protect the city. Amid whispers of war and dark omens, Eli's longing for power and purpose grows. When an eerie old woman warns her of the dangers within her own heart, Eli finds herself at a crossroads. Her dreams of wielding a sword and guarding Carcassonne threaten to clash with her reality, and as she confronts the darkness both outside and within, Eli must reckon with what it truly means to be a protector in a world that has no place for a warrior like her.
