Unspoken embers we keep

As unsettling signs resurface, Farah uncovers the existence of a changeling from the First World: Bloom, a fire fairy whose powers manifest violently and without control. Her arrival at Alfea awakens buried fears and unanswered questions, tying the present to events Farah and Saul would rather leave in the past. The timing is no coincidence, and neither is the return of Rosalind, Farah's former mentor, whose methods once brought victory at an unforgivable cost.

While Bloom struggles to understand her magic and her place in a world at war with itself, Farah and Saul are forced to confront their own history. Bound by years of shared battles, loss, and loyalty, they have always chosen duty over truth, burying what they feel beneath responsibility and restraint. Rosalind's return threatens not only the balance of power at Alfea, but the careful distance Farah and Saul have maintained between themselves.

Unspoken Embers We Keep is about what remains after war, the unspoken feelings, hidden truths, and the consequences of past choices.
