The Gilded Thief

She was never meant to be found.
She was never meant to be chosen.

Corrinthia Llavellan has survived by staying unseen. A masked thief, a blade in the dark, a name whispered only in wanted posters-until she crosses paths with Wyvern Drop, a quiet village built on faith, trust, and dangerous hope.

When an ancient relic bound to her blood begins to awaken, Corrinthia finds herself caught between the life she buried and the power that refuses to let her go. As gods stir, secrets surface, and old enemies return, she must decide what she is willing to become to protect the people who never asked her to stay.

This is a story about chosen family, slow-burning bonds, and the cost of being seen.
Some powers conquer.
Others recognize.
And recognition can be the most dangerous thing of all.
