Mirror of the Fallen God: The Order's Deadliest Executioner Haunted by a Shattered Sky

Cora Howard is the apex predator of the magical hierarchy. As the most lethal executioner for the Mage Order, she tracks down dangerous anomalies and neutralizes them with terrifyingly precise kinetic magic. But her latest target, a rogue sorcerer dabbling in forbidden blood magic, leaves her with a chilling final warning before his death: the void is already inside her. Despite executing her duty flawlessly in the freezing rain of the northern crags, Cora finds no triumph in the kill. Instead, beneath the cold, calculating exterior of the high council's deadliest weapon lies a vast, echoing emptiness—a phantom grief for a memory she does not possess. Plagued by sudden, fractured visions of a blinding silhouette falling from a shattered sky, Cora returns to the monolithic Citadel with haunting questions. What is the void within her, and why does she mourn a past she cannot remember?
