Velinora is a quiet coastal village at the edge of the realms where unfamiliar ships are spotted easily and the local barkeep may actually refuse service to outsiders. Renaya likes it that way, even if she wouldn’t go so far as to consider herself an insider. But after many years of lingering in the shadows, the locals have come to know her and she imagines this might just be what home feels like.

When a stranger with ocean eyes and a mission from the divine court arrives in town, the very place she was just starting to feel safe is thrown into jeopardy.

The stars grow restless.

Dreams turn to omens.

And a long forgotten corner of the world threatens to capture the attention of the most powerful beings in the universe.

Even if the key to restoring order to the realms was locked away on Velinora, would Renaya be willing to sacrifice this tiny refuge she has built for the greater good? Caught between cosmic secrets, forgotten traumas, and enemies hiding in plain sight, Renaya must decide:

Will she remain in the shadows? Or will she save the stars?
