In the Maylin family, sanity has an expiration date, and a history tangled with old magic that no one talks about directly.
Rhea Maylin has spent her life trying to outrun hers.
After a sudden seizure, she wakes up in Claymore Sanctuary, a place built for healing, if you don't ask too many questions, or notice the subtle wards threaded through its quiet halls.
There are routines. Therapy sessions. Carefully structured days. People who feel strangely familiar, like echoes of something she can't quite place.
And a man who seems to know her far better than he should.
Some places don't heal you.
They keep you.
And Rhea is starting to wonder if she was ever meant to leave at all.
