THE UNEXPECTED GUEST

Nyra never asked for the bell, she was only trying to outrun the shadows Mercer left behind, the lies, the fear, the destruction he wove through her family and her village, but the night she claimed the brass bell from his hands, her life fractured into before and after. Its haunting chime follows her, echoing through her dreams, stirring voices she cannot name.

Now Nyra is hunted by Mercer, whose cruelty runs deeper than anything she imagined, and by the secretive Circle who will kill to reclaim the relic she carries.
