Her name is written in a cipher four centuries old. Someone knew she was coming.
Lila Mira Evryn has spent eleven years as a manuscript analyst for the Veil, the organization that keeps Mournhaven's darkness in balance. She follows their rules. She files her reports. She quietly mourns the twin brother who vanished three years ago and left nothing behind but a fern on her windowsill.
Then she finds her own name buried in a forbidden prophecy, hidden in what she catalogued as water damage, and everything she thought she knew about her family, her bloodline, and the organization she serves begins to collapse.
The Veil has been using her family for four centuries. Her brother didn't disappear. He made a choice. And the darkness that has lived in her blood her entire life was never hers to begin with.
She has eight days before the Veil moves. She needs to decide who to trust, what she's willing to carry, and whether breaking a centuries-old cycle is worth the cost of everything it takes to do it.
Some prophecies are warnings. This one was written specifically for her
