In the wake of the battle that shattered Sabhille, Maleah and her companions set out on a perilous journey to track down the remaining fallen gods. Each god carries a fragment of the First Star—the essence of the Creator—and each relic brings them one step closer to restoring balance to a world teetering on the edge of ruin.

But as they travel deeper into Irrea, a hauntingly beautiful forest untouched by time, Maleah must wrestle with a growing divide between who she longs to be and who she is being called to become. Her desire for freedom clashes with the weight of new responsibility, and the cost of leadership begins to reveal itself.

Surrounded by whispers of the In-Between—a realm of vanishing and monsters that locals call The Other—the group is forced to navigate not only unknown terrain, but the growing tension between caution and courage. And when signs of a powerful god begin to surface—one whose presence twists reality and bends truth—Maleah must confront the chaos within herself and decide whether the truth she uncovers is worth the price of discovery.
