Salt & Shadow

In the fog-choked city of Ravenspire, bells don't just toll—they bind. Thalia has spent her life surviving the feud between ruthless noble houses and the holy Bell-Order that rules through fear, silence, and devotion. But when a sacred procession turns into a living nightmare, she's forced into the underworld beneath the city… where something ancient is waking in the salt mines—something that hungers for names, vows, and blood. Stellan was never meant to be her ally. He carries sunfire in his veins and secrets sharp enough to get them both killed. Yet the closer they come to the truth behind the Order's "saints" and the crown they're building from gravefire and sacrifice, the more Thalia realizes the greatest danger isn't the darkness below— It's the devotion above. To stop Ravenspire from becoming a mouth that swallows everyone whole, Thalia makes a choice no one survives unchanged… and pays a price that could erase her from the world entirely. Now, with her identity stolen and a new crowned power rising from the grave, she and Stellan must fight through shadow, salt, and forbidden magic to reclaim what was taken— Before the bells learn how to sing again.
