A frozen rose. A kingdom trapped in the final twelve minutes before midnight. A forgotten girl whose freedom may demand another name.
When a snow-covered carriage arrives at Rosebloom Academy beneath a pale moon at noon, Mira Vale knows something is terribly wrong. Inside lies a blue rose imprisoned in ice and a desperate message from Lunara, a distant kingdom where Queen Maelis sleeps and every clock repeats the same twelve minutes.
But the voice inside the rose belongs to someone the kingdom no longer remembers.
Liora Maelisen is the queen's forgotten daughter. For twelve years, she has lived inside the Midnight Garden, erased from royal records and from the memories of everyone who loved her. Now the magic concealing her is failing. The Moonrose has frozen Lunara to preserve the truth of Liora's existence, but it is searching for another name to carry the night when she is freed.
That name is Mira Vale.
Accompanied by her mother, Mara, and her closest friends, Mira travels through looping roads, villages trapped in repeated actions, and a mountain pass that demands a memory as payment. Each step takes them closer to Liora, but also allows the moon to learn their fears, their secrets, and the choices they regret.
Within Lunara's palace, Mira discovers that generations of rulers used the Moonrose to bury grief, silence protests, conceal failed laws, and erase inconvenient lives. Releasing those memories could restore the dawn, but it could also overwhelm the kingdom with centuries of pain.
As the final bell approaches and the people she loves begin forgetting her, Mira must enter the heart of midnight and find a way to save Liora without taking her place.
Because this time, breaking the spell may be the most dangerous choice of all.
And morning is running out of time.
