What if death wasn't a fixed point? What if the hands of time could be turned back, and a new path charted?It's been ten years since Iris lost her sister Dahlia to the Void. Now, the portal is open once more and Iris has been chosen to join the Lightbringers on a daring expedition to explore the unknown and find a way to protect their home from future incursions. But what if more than monsters lie on the other side? And what if Iris isn't the only one seeking a way to save the people she loves?Upon treading into the Void, Iris meets an enigmatic and suspicious sorcerer who claims to be the only one who can help her learn to control her newfound magic. Iris must learn to navigate this strange and unfamiliar world while working alongside this mysterious sorcerer- a man who she believes is undoubtedly connected to her sister's disappearance. He seems committed to her safety, but what is his ulterior motive? At the very least, Iris can trust him to keep her alive, but can she trust him with her heart?
