Carved In Stone

You have built a life as the owner of a beloved potion shop in a village where tradition runs deep and women's ambitions are routinely dismissed — and building that life took genuine effort. The expectation that you should now set it aside for marriage and children is getting louder. Then a mysterious and compelling regular named Carrick begins visiting in the hours after dark, and something that felt like it had already been settled inside you begins to stir again. As the connection between you grows, the question sharpens: live the life the village expects, or find out what happens if you choose your own direction instead.
