Lin'qa has always walked a narrow line caught between the weight of her past and the faint promise of freedom. Night after night, dreams blur with memory, each one shadowed by the voice of the master she thought she'd escaped. The chains may be gone, but the echo of loyalty and the sting of a love left unresolved still cling to her.

Then she meets Ravla. Sharp-tongued, guarded, and carrying secrets of her own, Ravla unsettles Lin'qa in ways she can't explain. What begins as cautious banter shifts into something harder to resist. But in a world where betrayal can cut deeper than any blade, trusting someone new might be the most dangerous risk of all.

As desire grows, Lin'qa's walls begin to falter. Every step toward Ravla feels like a step away from fear yet also a step closer to losing everything she's fought to hold together.

Can she claim the love that might set her free, or will the past drag her back into the dark?
