Myra has never believed in spirits.
She certainly doesn't believe in Eya, the mysterious FirstHeart said to have given life to all living beings. Nor does she believe in Guardians, wandering spirits, or the Silent Door waiting at the end of every life. Not anymore.
After losing both of her parents without the promised farewell of the Parting Light, Myra has learned to trust only what she can see, what she can understand, and what she can control.
Then, one ordinary day, she sees someone who should not be there.
Adrian.
A man she remembers from years ago. A man who insists he may be dead.
Except Adrian isn't dead.
As Myra is reluctantly drawn into a world of lingering spirits, unfinished farewells, and secrets hidden behind an ancient belief she once abandoned, she begins to discover that death is not always the end-and staying is not always an act of love.
Some souls remain because they cannot let go.
Some remain because someone else cannot.
And somewhere beyond the Silent Door lies a truth Myra has spent years refusing to hear:
Sometimes, loving someone means holding on.
Sometimes, it means letting them go.
