Ashen roots || Neteyam

Tawzize is a ghost forged in ash and war. After the Sky People destroyed her clan and severed her bond with the sky, she learned to survive by turning her grief into armor. She doesn't need peace, she doesn't want pity, and she absolutely does not need Neteyam, the infuriatingly perfect, golden son of Toruk Makto.

But Neteyam isn't as sheltered as she thinks. Beneath the crushing weight of his legacy, he recognizes the shape of her anger, and he is dangerously determined to learn her edges. In a jungle where every shadow hides a threat, their bitter rivalry slowly gives way to a crackling, undeniable tactical synergy.

As her icy fortress finally begins to shatter, Tawzize must face a terrifying truth: the hardest battle isn't surviving the war. It's surviving the boy who refuses to let her fight alone.
