Twenty years after a failed rebellion, the king's hunters still search for children born with shadow magic - the last trace of a bloodline that was supposed to be extinct. Dreaya has survived by becoming no one. A servant's dress, a borrowed name, a life measured in stolen coppers and careful lies. Then a prince arrives in her forgotten town, carrying gravity in his bones and his father's orders to find exactly what she is. Xyion was raised to treat mercy as laziness and instinct as data. He has come to Halewick to confirm a rumor and end a bloodline. But the girl at the fountain resisted his weight without knowing what pressed on her - and he walked away carrying the sensation of her like a stone in his pocket.
