Summary
After Nesta Archeron exposed the truth about Feyre’s fatal pregnancy—a secret Rhysand and his Inner Circle buried in the dark—she was banished from Velaris under threat of death.
Cassian was ordered to take her far from the city. But instead of salvation, he left her in a crumbling tower surrounded by the endless sea.
Alone with the ghosts of her past and the silence that answers back, Nesta begins to unravel the thin thread between memory and madness. Haunted by what she became in the Cauldron—and by the water that remade her—she faces the one war she can’t fight with a sword: the one inside her own mind.
She’s survived the war, the Cauldron, and the world’s cruelty—but can she survive herself?
A Court of Silver Flames reimagined through Nesta’s eyes — stripped of forgiveness, drenched in silence, and haunted by what was left unsaid.

[Note: This is not a story of healing. It is a story of neglect, of trauma unacknowledged, of a woman the world refused to understand until she broke
The story basically begins at Chapter 47 - A Court of Silver Flames, in AU that is darker and more visceral.]
