✦ Kingdom of Ravenzia ✦

The relapse was immediate—feeling death only to open your eyes again, standing before the same lake that first changed everything. In the Vaelthorne household, faith is not private; it is law, spectacle, and survival. You are a duke’s daughter in a realm where the Church and Crown speak with one voice… and that voice does not forgive. Your life was cut short after three years, executed for crimes you did not commit, yet your eyes opened as if refusing to stay closed.

Lake Eiravelle is unnaturally still—an old sacred place dressed in holy language. Some call it an omen. Some call it a blessing. And some names should never be spoken too loudly—because once the Church hears them, it never lets go.

Loyalty has a price. Devotion has a witness. And when a day refuses to stay buried… you must decide what you will do with the life you are given again.
