Shadow of the Last Dawn
The city is rotting. Hunger rules its streets, betrayal stains its alleys, and hope is nothing more than a lie whispered to children. Avia has learned to survive by silence, by watching, by carrying secrets no one else must ever know.
When she crosses paths with Thanatos, the Circle's stubborn and idealistic leader, she expects to witness the same fate she has seen a hundred times before: trust splintering, loyalty turning to ash. Yet the Circle doesn't fall. Against all odds, they fight harder, cling tighter, believe deeper.
Drawn into their struggle, Avia finds herself bound to the very people she swore she would never need. To the boy who trusts her. To the man who looks at her as though she could be more than she is.
But in the shadows of the ruins, Avia's secret hums like a blade. And when it falls, no one will be safe.
