Publisher's Synopsis
In the ancient realm of Callithar, where magic is drawn from the deepest emotions, regrets are more than memories they are scars that can wield immense power. For Kaela Vryn, the most feared sorceress of her time, those scars run deep. Decades ago, a single catastrophic choice shattered her life, her love, and the kingdom she swore to protect. Wracked with guilt, Kaela vanished into exile, leaving the world to forget her name.
But the past refuses to stay buried. When a dark force begins to spread, corrupting the magic of Callithar and threatening to plunge the kingdom into chaos, Kaela is called back from obscurity. Reluctantly, she embarks on a perilous journey to confront the forces behind the destruction forces tied to her long-buried secret.
Joined by a defiant warrior seeking redemption, a scholar chasing forbidden knowledge, and a young mage who views Kaela as both savior and cautionary tale, Kaela must face trials that test her will, her power, and her resolve to atone for her sins. As the line between hero and villain blurs, Kaela discovers that saving Callithar may require her to confront her greatest fear: the truth of her last regret.
