Dust motes swim in the shafts of sunlight cutting through Ferndell Hall, falling across a breakfast table left untouched. At sixteen, Enola stands alone in the quiet, her mother missing.

Enola’s hands close around a box of enigmatic tokens, her gaze fixed and defiant. This story does not begin with decorum; it begins with a secret she means to uncover before anyone else can decide her destiny.
