“Do not dare to sanctify your compassion with the relics of my life.” Cast aside as a sacrificial bride—bound for death before the altar—Elira defies fate in exile, her survival forged in silence, steel, and the cunning art of concealment. Beneath treacherous skies and sharper betrayals, she gathers forbidden knowledge, hoards scarce resources, and unravels a web of lies spun to bury her truth.
