    Summary

    She had offered to go with him. Of course she had—she loved him. Not in the way fools whispered about, but in the way that bound souls together, in the way that meant his pain was hers. He was her brother, and she would have died beside him.

    But he told her no.

     

    Kill the snake.

     

    So she had. And when the dust settled, when the war was over, she was left in a world that had demanded too much. Victory felt hollow, grief swallowing joy whole.

    She couldn’t accept it. She wouldn’t. So she tore open time itself.

    Not to before the war, but further—to the beginning of it all. To darkened halls and whispered curses, to the men who would one day destroy him.

    The past does not take kindly to intruders. It resists. It watches.

    And it knows.

    She was never meant to be here.

    But she will shape this world with blood and fire if she must. Because he was never meant to die. And he was never meant to be broken.

    Not him.
    Never him.
