— The First Comfort
ETHEREAL LIVES**
Every night Joy sleeps, Seraville wakes.
Unknown to her mortal mind, Joy spends her childhood training in the ether—a realm of raw magic and hidden lessons. There, two unwitting witnesses absorb her storms, ground her fears, and guide the spark she will one day become… without ever knowing who she truly is.
These are the nights erased by dawn.
The secret childhood of a girl destined to break worlds open.
Some destinies are lived twice—once in dreams, once in daylight.
