The plot follows a family of four for 15 days, 24 hours a day. In those 15 days, every detail of what each of them accomplished during the day and night will be described, but the twist is that you can read the story from the perspective of each of them separately. The plot is synchronized, so the reader will hopefully be able to appreciate how the same situations look from a different perspective or how they experience them.
Elara meets him in secret, where the river sings and the old mill remembers. His mouth claims her thighs; her moans crack the silence. In a village ruled by obedience, their bodies become defiance—slick with sweat, pulsing with hunger, fearless in the dark. She won’t hide. Not her pleasure, not her power. When the torches come, she stands naked in the firelight, daring them to look. What began in lust will burn the old order down.
