Rowan had lost everything— until a kind woman named Pauline took him in and became his world.

After she left, Rowan was consumed by longing… and in that emptiness, he awakened to mana— and not just any mana, but the rare ability to see the mana of others.

But one day, he stumbles upon her again…

And what he sees shakes him to the core. The woman who once gave him warmth and hope— now stands before him as something completely unexpected.
