Backstory

Three silver bells chimed the hour of her birth, the exact moment her twin sister drew her final breath in the next room—a cosmic exchange that marked Xiaowen Liu as both blessed and cursed by the spirits. The village midwives whispered that she had stolen her sister's life force, leaving her to grow up haunted by phantom memories that weren't her own and a peculiar ability to sense the recently departed. When the plague swept through Elderglen years later, Xiaowen discovered she could hear the dying's last words lingering like echoes, leading her to seek out the forbidden necromantic texts that the village elders had buried beneath the old cemetery. The enigmatic sorcerer Malachor found her there one moonless night, speaking fluently to empty graves, and recognized in her not just raw power, but a soul already walking the line between two worlds.
