Whispers of Forgotten Dreams

Elara, a timid village healer, lives under the shadow of a forgotten pact. Blessed - or cursed - with the ability to glimpse the true desires and darkest fears of those she touches, her gentle life shatters when the Empire's ruthless Seeker arrives, hunting for anomalies. Her unique gift, once a quiet solace, now marks her as an abomination. When her ailing younger sister falls gravely ill from a mysterious blight, Elara must master her volatile power to infiltrate the opulent, treacherous imperial court. There, amidst veiled smiles and whispered plots, she uncovers a conspiracy threatening not just her family, but the very fabric of her world. Can one woman's touch unravel an empire built on lies, or will her own vulnerabilities condemn them all?
