Elira Venn has lived on the edges—exiled from her village and haunted by memories she cannot fully grasp. When a rift opens in the Veil, the fragile barrier between life and death, it drags her back to Caerwynd and the secrets she thought she’d left behind. The ancient Hollow Tree, a prison for a god whose power shaped the balance between worlds, stands at the heart of the growing unrest.
