She was taught to stay small.
Now becoming what she fears might be the only way to survive.
After years of isolation, control, and lies, a violent public incident forces Irma Hagtorn to flee the only home she's ever known. Convinced she is exactly what everyone has always feared-a monster-she leaves behind everything she knows, carrying nothing but dangerous magic, fragmented memories, and a pull she can't explain.
But Irma's presence draws attention-and not all of it human.
A godlike entity known only as The Shadow is already moving against her, calling her little flame as it shapes the path before she can choose it.
Irma was never meant to have anyone at her side.
Yet Åsa, once her closest friend, refuses to abandon her. Neither does Brand-Åsa's brother, reckless, infuriating, and impossible to ignore. Alongside Henrik, a former King's Guard whose quiet strength hides old scars of his own, they become something Irma never expected to have: people worth trusting.
People worth losing.
As Irma's magic grows stronger-and more unpredictable-the lies that have defined her life begin to unravel. When those she's come to love are threatened, hiding is no longer enough.
To save them-and herself-she must embrace the very power she was taught to fear...
...or become the monster everyone has always feared.
