If forced to choose, would you abandon your homeland for the promise of safety…or stay to fight with the one you love?
Raela has been marked as a scribe since birth—destined to record and preserve a prophecy that will guide her people underground to escape the invasion of their homeland. When her grandfather, the tribe’s seer, reveals the time has come to flee, Raela is expected to accept her duty without hesitation.
But Rebial, the man she loves, refuses. He believes the prophecy is a death sentence—a betrayal of the forested land that has sheltered them for generations. Denied his rightful warrior status by fearful elders, Rebial vows to stay behind and protect their homeland at any cost.
As the evacuation date approaches, Raela faces an impossible choice: follow the prophecy she was born to uphold and abandon the man she loves, or defy her grandfather’s wisdom and risk everything—including her very identity—to stay beside Rebial.
But destiny has a way of binding people together, whether they resist it or not.
