Jenny-Mai Nuyen

Lyra moves through embers and whispering leaves, chasing a rumor of a fragment of Feenlicht that could bend the city’s fate. A pact rattles in the bell’s echo, unquiet guardians murmur in the dark, and every decision threads closer to a line she cannot uncross. When a betrayal cuts deeper than steel, Lyra must choose between a fragile oath and the life of someone she loves, even as the forest itself seems to bend toward a reckoning she never sought.
