Azaria Sylvenhart died in the Abyss.
Coming back should have been the miracle. Instead, she wakes changed, fractured, and carrying power no one in Kareth fully understands.
Her squad is still reeling from the devastation that almost took her from them. Old wounds have reopened. New fears have taken root. And while Azaria tries to rebuild the pieces of herself death did not return cleanly, the people who love her are fighting their own battles in the aftermath.
Dain is losing ground to an old wound that takes more from him with every passing day. Quinton is chasing answers buried in blood and forbidden records. And Kalias carries truths about Azaria's bloodline that could change everything she thought she knew about herself.
Azaria, once the captain with no magic, must now face the one thing she was never trained to survive.
Herself.
She has spent her life proving she was more than what the world saw in her. Now she must learn what she has become.
Before the power that saved her becomes the thing that breaks her again.
