A young woman trapped in her life and isolated by her past suddenly finds herself bound to a sökare, running as a fugitive, and hunted by shadow. Losing everything, she finds herself thrust into a world her mom hid and an existence her dad died to save her from. With everyone around her telling her to flee, she must ultimately confront her past, and herself, to learn what it is to be a maker of worlds.
“Everything that you know of this world is a glorious dream, a wonderment that captures mind and soul. The imagination is a powerful contrivance, though do not be so blind as to believe that you have seen all there is and that which remains will not come at a cost.” – The Helix

How do you avoid the rage of something so mysterious and divine? Some say the gods have limits. That if you did not cross into the light of the moon, that she couldn't see you.
