Every child enters the world carrying twelve names beneath their skin. Names of people destined to shape their lives. For centuries, the Rule of Twelve has governed every kingdom, every family, and every soul. No one questions it. No one dares. Until Lyra Vale discovers a thirteenth name. A name that should not exist. When mysterious strangers begin searching for her and ancient records vanish from the Hall of Records, Lyra is forced to leave everything behind. Alongside the enigmatic Rowan Dusk—a man officially recorded as dead—she embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the truth hidden beneath generations of lies. As secrets emerge and old powers awaken, Lyra learns that destiny may not be as fixed as the world believes. And some names were never meant to be spoken.
