Long before the Chronicles begin, the Lake already kept its legends.
A commander who spent his whole life holding back — until the day at Kael Morath when he didn't. A great house's quietest daughter, and the assassin an entire age learned to fear. A healer so old that his own statue outlived the truth of him.
Three voices from a vanished age, telling their own stories: what they were given, what it cost, and what the water kept.
You will not be told how their gifts work. You will feel what they paid for them.
