Summary
Ines Eldin, once the empire’s most prosperous investor, now sees her fortunes plummet after her uncanny ability to predict misfortune vanishes. A fleeting encounter at the bank briefly restores her power, only to fade again by morning. She traces the source to Kallad Asdeon, a man cursed to wield a deadly blade and meet a tragic fate. Determined to uncover the link, Ines purchases the weapon shop where he works. But upon meeting him, she finds his troubles more mundane than menacing—like missing a beloved meal. Could this gentle soul truly be the doomed figure of prophecy?
