Vol. 1: Shadows over Willow Creek
In Shadows over Willow Creek, Aria vanishes from the world that once claimed her. Born into a fortune she never wanted and carrying a piece of evidence powerful enough to upend global systems, she retreats to the forgotten edges of Willow Creek, hoping anonymity will save her.
