    Summary

    The city doesn't remember her. The temple she consecrated treats her as a volunteer. The forge her father built rings with a stranger's hammer. The senate she once silenced with a word doesn't know her face. Iuno gave up everything — her foresight, her title, her existence — to save the woman she loves and the city that woman swore to protect. She came back with nothing but her own memory and a ring on her finger and a woman who hums in her sleep without knowing why.

    This is not the story of how they fell in love. That story has already been told, twice.

    This is what comes after: the quiet work of carrying a grief no one can see, the slow discovery that the future she can no longer foresee is the first one that has ever truly been hers, and the morning when the door closes and the flinch doesn't come.
