Born out of wedlock, Iraya was hidden from the world to protect the reputation of the noble family that refused to claim her. To them, her existence was a mistake-one that had to remain forgotten.
But in a world where magic shapes destiny, Iraya refuses to be defined by the name she was denied. She grows stronger, wiser, and more powerful with every passing year, determined to prove that she is worthy of the acceptance she has always longed for.
Until one fateful day, a single step beyond the life she has always known awakens secrets that were never meant to see the light.
The truth behind her birth is far more dangerous than she could have imagined, and the answers she has spent her whole life searching may cost her everything.
