When the Past Refuses to Stay Buried

Bound in magic-dampening alloy, locked in the back of a Saint dropship, Kimya Beowulf knows one thing for certain: weakness gets you killed.

Her captor, Cadet Kaelen Voss, thinks he has everything under control. Cold, arrogant, and entirely unimpressed by the nobility, Kaelen is just executing orders—delivering a high-value package and collecting his paycheck. But delivering a Beowulf is never a simple assignment, especially when the drop-off leads straight to the doorstep of a legendary commander who vanished from active duty.

Meanwhile, miles away on the scorching highway to Eukiah, a young band of wanderers steps beyond their borders for the very first time. Led by the quick-witted illusionist Loki Shivan, they seek answers, freedom, and a fresh start. But in a city shadowed by the iron fist of the Hall of Saints, hiding who you are is a dangerous game—and every shadow carries eyes.

Old grudges clash with new blood, war-torn minds ignite under pressure, and the fragile peace holding the region together begins to fracture. When the dust settles on the courtyard gravel, one truth remains clear: you can run from your lineage, but you can never escape the echoes left behind.

Will Kimya outwit her guard before she's traded away? What dark secrets broke the hero of the past?
