Emma wants one thing-silence. The voice inside her mind has been growing louder, stranger, impossible to ignore. Desperate to escape it, she disappears into the forest... only to find something far more dangerous waiting for her.
A wolf chooses her.
A stranger of living darkness saves her life.
And something ancient begins to wake.
Rivan won't explain why he's protecting her. The forest won't let her stay. And the shadow-creature hunting her is only the beginning.
Emma leaves the forest.
But she goes back anyway.
With Veyr at her side and Rivan guiding her, Emma begins to uncover a power she never knew she carried-and the terrifying truth of why the world has started to shift around her.
She has magic.
And the moment she reaches for it... the world reaches back.
