Eve Wallow has fought tooth and nail to earn her freedom from a ruthless captor - but escaping is only the beginning. The price she paid left marks deeper than bruises: ancient glyphs etched into her skin, awakening a power she doesn't understand and a destiny she never asked for.
Haunted by a past she can't outrun and hunted by forces that want to control her, Eve is thrust into a world where trust is a dangerous luxury and freedom feels like a double-edged sword. The very chains that once held her prisoner now pulse with a mysterious energy, binding her to a secret legacy - one tied to a century-old witch and a bloodline destined for greatness.
As Eve struggles to claim her place in a city full of shadows and lies, she must decide: will she let her past define her, or will she harness the power rising within before it consumes her?
