In Velaris, Lyrra Vale spends her days working quietly in her father’s spice shop, living a life shaped by routine, duty, and unspoken expectations. Everything changes when Mor begins to visit the shop—and what starts as chance encounters quickly turns into something neither of them expected. As Mor finds herself drawn to Lyrra with certainty she can’t ignore, Lyrra is faced with feelings she has never allowed herself to consider before. Caught between the familiar world of her father’s shop and the pull of something entirely new, she must decide whether to stay within the life she’s always known or risk everything for a love that could change it.
