Whispers under the lanterns

In Valdris, memories do not disappear.
They wait in the dark... Until someone remembers.

When Liora inherited a forgotten teahouse on the edge of the mist-covered harbor city of Valdris, she believed she was escaping her past.

She was wrong.

The old lanterns whisper at night.
The streets remember names no one dares to speak.
And the tea she serves awakens memories that were never meant to return.

Then a mysterious stranger arrives carrying shadows in his eyes and secrets buried deeper than the sea itself.

Cassian knows who Liora truly is.

He knows why the city fears her.

And he knows that somewhere beneath Valdris lies a forgotten darkness powerful enough to destroy every memory she has left.

As ancient magic awakens and the line between love and betrayal begins to blur, Liora must decide:

Forget the truth...
Or remember the monster she once became.

Perfect for readers of One Dark Window, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and Belladonna, this haunting romantasy blends memory magic, gothic mystery, forbidden love, and atmospheric fantasy into an unforgettable story.

Some memories should remain forgotten.
