Dame Rowan Vale, a fallen soldier from Threnne, is summoned to Avenne by Speaker Selene Montclair, the heir who governs in her mother's illness. Tasked with investigating the Ash-Marshes, Rowan discovers remnants of a ritual that once renewed the Veil through sacrifice. The dead are not resting. They linger as echoes, fragments of memory that refuse to fade. As Rowan searches for truth in the ruins of the Watchfort, Selene faces her own war within the marble walls of the capital. The council demands obedience, the Church calls for purity, and the Veil begins to stir. Bound by duty and divided by history, the two women move toward a secret buried beneath centuries of silence. The Veil is remembering, and what it recalls may unmake the kingdom it was meant to protect.
