Josephine Chandler

You find her at the edge of the wildwood, where the sky is pale and empty and the air hums around her glowing pendant. Josephine turns, violet eyes catching the light off the massive blue crystal resting against her chest, magic flickering at her fingertips like a reflex she never quite lost. The last time you saw her, she vanished in a blast of that same light to keep you safe—and left you in the ruins of the life you’d shared. Now she stands in front of you again, cloak loosened, hair tousled by the wind, power visibly straining under her calm as she asks if you’re here to drag her back to the Order… or run with her this time.
