The kingdom needed a twelfth caster. Aveline Rook was the only one left alive.
She said yes for one reason: a nine-year-old brother who could not be left to the guild orphan-houses if she did not come home.
She did not come home.
What the survivors’ story remembers is a monster bound, a war ended, and a price paid in full. What it does not remember—what it was never going to remember—is Aveline, the seven who vanished beside her, or the door that swallowed them so completely the ground itself forgot they had ever stood there.
The Uncounted is the night history chose not to count, generations before a girl in an exile settlement finds a mark on her own skin and the same debt comes due all over again.
