The truth was never meant to be found. And blood never forgets.
Lyra was raised to believe that knowledge means power. That time is something that can be controlled. At a school among the elite; brilliant, isolated, and untouched by tech or myth. But when forbidden technology answers to her touch and her dreams fill with screaming children burning a memory that isn't hers, Lyra begins to realize that maybe her past was not lost by chance.
It was erased.
In another realm, where magic answer to only blood and sacrifice, Elara is being forged into something dangerous. Taken by the Fated after her village was slaughtered and her father vanished into the shadows. Her power will save the realms or doom them. Visions haunt her, a sister's presence tugs at her soul. A connection that defies the distance between worlds.
Both are haunted by the echoes of a young boy who was hunted and executed for the very bloodline they all share. His death was a warning, his family is the consequence.
Ancient forces stir between worlds once meant to remain apart. A hidden city always beyond ash and ruin. Prophecies speak of sisters split by fate, bound by fire, steel and legacy powerful enough to fracture time itself. As shadow guardians, corrupted orders, and forgotten Gods close in, Lyra and Elara are drawn toward one another, unaware that their families reunion may be the final catalyst.
Because truth does not bring salvation.
