Hesperia's wings symbolize hope and defiance against the dark, binding traditions of Eldergrove. The town's annual sacrifice, meant to placate Prince Kael, has claimed many innocent lives, but when Rosaura, the most beautiful girl, is chosen, Hesperia cannot accept it. She sees the deeper meaning behind the ritual-love, loss, and manipulation by fear. As the festival reaches its height, and Rosaura is about to be offered to the river, Hesperia's hidden wings become her tool of rebellion. Bathed in moonlight, she rescues her cousin, soaring into the skies to rewrite the destiny that the river tried to dictate. Through the storm, they navigate not only the danger of their escape but also the looming threat of the dark magic that haunts Hesperia's family. Together, they vow to confront this darkness, realizing that their love, courage, and freedom will defy the river's ancient hunger.
Seth and Saga are desperate to find peace, but it might not be so easy under Eri's chaotic reign.
