Princess Emeriel Galilea Evenstone has come home, but the place no longer feels like home to her.
The chains are gone from her wrists and ankles, while a harder hold tightens around her heart.
Urai remains a kingdom of devils, a hell that she still calls heaven.
Through her failing sight, her dark devil appears as her angel.
Food turns to ash, certainty slips away, and the heavy moon finds her alone with sorrow when the crows call.
She breathes without existing and exists without living, longing only to be sent back.
