SEQUEL TO "MY WATER"
A year after the war, Mipha has finally found something like steady ground - helping run the Domain, settled into her place as her father's heir, settled into life with Link. Then something happens that tears the two of them apart, cleanly and completely, with Mipha the one forced to say it to his face and mean it. What was easy between them is gone, replaced by a silence neither of them knows how to cross.
And there's no time to sit in it. The Upheaval has begun - old seals cracking, Ganon's presence stirring back to life across Hyrule - and with it, the six Secret Stones have broken loose from wherever they'd been kept, ancient sources of power tied to each Champion and their people. Mipha, Link, Impa, Zelda, Daruk, Urbosa, and Revali are pulled back into the fight together whether they're ready or not, racing to find the stones before something worse does, all while carrying whatever's left unspoken between the two of them into every mission.
