This was the town of Elaris, where magic was a quiet hum beneath the surface of everyday life. A young woman named Lyra had lived in Elaris all her life, though she had only recently begun to notice the strange cadence of the town. By day, she worked in the apothecary, grinding herbs and preparing remedies with…
