Tonight is the annual Enlightenment, the day most have waited for their entire lives. The moment a god grants a being with power, and they find their place in this realm. I walk with confidence up to the dias, knowing soon enough I will take my place as a healer, as did my ancestors. Thick purple fog crawls up the edges of the stone and swirls around me, engulfing my body in a suffocating cloud. A flash of light strikes my chest so hard it reverberates throughout my ribcage, like an echo of pain. The color drains from my face as an image engraves itself onto my chest, sealing my fate. “How can this be?” I stutter out, between gasping breaths.
In a world dictated by the magic arcane, Edin is thrust into a whole new realm with the guidance of an angelic being and a ruthless instructor straight from Helheim. She has no choice but to navigate the dark magic, fated mate connections, and learn to survive in this desolate wasteland of What Lies Between.
