Elara once lived a quiet life, surrounded by warmth, love, and a home filled with light.
That world shattered the night her mother was killed over an unpaid debt - a punishment far crueler than the crime itself.
Left behind with a broken father and a society that judged without mercy, Elara learned early that kindness does not protect the weak. Silence does not save the innocent.
As the truth rots beneath a system built on fear and power, Elara begins to walk a dangerous path - one that promises freedom, but demands sacrifice.
Standing beside her is Kael, a boy two years older, quiet and unwavering, bound to her by a promise neither of them ever dared to name.
This is not a story about heroes.
It is a story about loss, choice, and the terrible price of freedom.
