Lashai has fallen to the Fontre, and hope is a rumor whispered in the alleyways.
But the old songs tell of a namari-one whose blood can call the river and rouse a people.
When fate drags her into the shadows of a resistance she never asked for, she must decide: hide and survive, or rise and risk everything. Because power is waking. And it remembers her name.
