In a city where duty runs deep and destiny speaks in half-truths, six lives begin to intertwine in quiet places. They meet over sweet tea, faded letters, forgotten ruins, and the weight of dreams that were never meant to be chased.

Devon Ashborn reads futures through cards. Gideon Thorne guards the present behind a shield he never sets down. Alena Morran carries yesterday’s grief in silence. Neia Moonblade searches for a cure no one else believes is real. Marina Blackthorne will arrive with a secret that could change everything. And Caelan Thorne watches from the shadows of power, trying to protect what matters without forgetting who he is.

A slow-burn fantasy of found family, buried magic, and the quiet strength it takes to choose hope again.
