A Song in Darkness

The Veil was never meant to let her through.

 

Isara has only ever had one purpose—protect her children, no matter the cost. But when the tyrant king hunting them draws too close, she does the unthinkable: crosses the Veil into Aethermire, the fae realm. A land where humans are unwelcome and seldom survive.

 

But the Veil does more than let her pass. It changes her. A rhythm stirs beneath her skin, magic she does not understand. And in Aethermire, power is dangerous.

Varyth, the High Lord of the Luceren Court, offers her sanctuary—but not out of kindness. He sees something in her. Something that should not belong to a former human.

 

He gives her a choice: stay, train, and learn what she is becoming—or leave, and be hunted in a world already set to destroy her.
For her children, Isara stays.

But safety in the fae realm is an illusion. Bodies appear where they shouldn’t. The ruthless Nyxaria Court turns its gaze toward Luceren. And the shadows? They are watching her.

​

When she sings to them, they answer.

Isara should not exist. The magic inside her should not be waking.
But it is.

​

And something has been waiting for her to hear the song in the darkness.
