  Summary

  Ranrok is dead. Miriam Fig lives. And the troubles of the time do not cease. The world of power and purebloods is not for the weak.
  Anesidora Fig befriends two boys in the shadow of pain and ruined legacies. Between classes and secret missions, they grow closer until the bright truth of their feelings can no longer be hidden. Yet one question remains: where is the repository?
  —
  Canon-divergence where a girl learns how to spin lies into truth, the keeper trials are replaced with trials that test the heart, and love will grow even on barren soil. Heavy worldbuilding involving ancient magic, pureblood culture, and mythology.

  Summary

  (what a beautiful sound the bell makes)

  She’s used to dead things walking much more than they should. She’s not used to befriending them.
  Just a bit of past life experience, and everyone seems to think Lizabel has the answers. She doesn't. (But not like she'll tell them.)
