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. 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, a power she does not understand. And in Aethermire, power is dangerous.
Varyth, the High Lord of the Luceren, 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. Now an enemy court knows she’s crossed—and they are not content to let her vanish. From the edges of the realm, corrupted beasts slip past wards and walls, carrying twisted magic and hungering for something she doesn’t yet understand. 
And the shadows? They are watching. 
When she sings to them, they answer.
Isara should not exist. The magic inside her should not be waking.
But it is. 
And something, or someone, has been waiting for her to hear the song in the darkness.
