Elina, the sole heiress of a powerful merchant guild, has lived a life shadowed by tragedy. Since the devastating loss of her mother, she’s been unable to utter a single word to anyone… except for Noel, her devoted childhood friend. Noel, trapped in the body of a young boy by a mysterious curse, has been her constant companion and confidant for fifteen years, their bond closer than family.
