  Summary

  A lyrical odyssey through life, death, and legacy, told from the soul of General Sarah Alder as she relives her most difficult decisions. Alder must reckon with the weight of centuries of war, the cost of power, and the aching pull of one witch who sees her not as a legend—but as a woman. At the edge of eternal rest, something holds her back. Something she never dared to name.
