THE UNEXPECTED GUEST
Nyra never asked for the bell, she was only trying to outrun the shadows Mercer left behind, the lies, the fear, the destruction he wove through her family and her village, but the night she claimed the brass bell from his hands, her life fractured into before and after. Its haunting chime follows her, echoing through her dreams, stirring voices she cannot name. Now Nyra is hunted by Mercer, whose cruelty runs deeper than anything she imagined, and by the secretive Circle who will kill to reclaim the relic she carries. With Henry by her side, a man burdened by guilt and bound to her fate more tightly than she wishes to admit, Nyra must navigate a world where truth is a weapon and loyalty is never certain. As the line between her fear and the bell's power begins to blur, Nyra must confront the darkest parts of herself to survive. The city of London teeters between order and chaos, and she may be the one to tip the balance. Because the bell is waking, And it has chosen her.
