In the Shadow of a Wish

Auri Fareview, striving to protect her family, discovers a mysterious golden key that may hold the power to change her fate, only to find it houses an imprisoned god with the potential to threaten her in profound ways. As she navigates her unusual connection with the god Nixus Uraiahs, he begins to see her as more than just a key-keeper, complicating their dynamic and introducing unpredictable risks. Though Nix has been bound by a spell and a series of failed key-keepers, Auri's unexpected strength and approach give him hope—and caution—about whether he can resist the allure of more than just her wishes.
