In that first dawn of the world, when rivers yet had voices and the air was thick with the breath of creation, Euthalia-gentlest of the Oceanids-kept to her mossy grottoes and secret springs, coaxing blossoms from stone with her silver jug of enchanted waters.She was beloved by gods and mortals alike, a quiet guardian of renewal who each year led Persephone from the shadowed realm to greet the sunlit earth. Yet now, curiosity and love awaken within her after meeting a mortal man. Torn between wisdom and desire, she must choose whether to follow her mind or her heart-knowing that either path could alter the course of her eternal spring.
