For eighteen years, Vespera has believed that loneliness was her home. In a world that never truly wanted her, she has learned to endure silence and distrust the warmth of others. But when one night shatters everything she knows, two strangers lead her into Elindros — a realm where memory and magic, life and death intertwine. There, she discovers the truth: she is the vessel of an ancient being, the Sonatius Mortaeda, the entity that embodies death itself. Yet the gift of such power is a curse. To the people of Elindros, Vespera is nothing more than an instrument of destiny — a pawn in a game whose rules she cannot see. With every step, she sinks deeper into a web of lies, fate, and betrayal. Torn between the longing to belong and the fear of losing herself, Vespera must decide which path to follow: the light she has never trusted — or the darkness that feels like home.
