When it whispers to her, shifting beneath her fingertips like something alive, she knows the inevitable is bound to occur—something she can't undo. When Aidan finds her and warns her that knowledge of the blueprint means erasure, Elira realizes there's no way out. She is faced with an impossible choice: abandon the truth or risk disappearing forever. With the Guild, a looming threat to her safety, closing in and secrets unraveling, one question remains—has she already sealed her fate?
