Brinny and the Empty Seat

In a world where mysterious entities known as "possessors" can take control of others' bodies, one such being exists with a singular, ruthless purpose - willing to eliminate anyone who stands in its way. Brinny, a young woman adapting to life with her new stepfather, believes these dark tales have nothing to do with her quiet existence. That changes when she finds herself unexpectedly drawn into the royal court's intrigues after a chance encounter with the frail second prince, Lucian. During a sudden crisis, Brinny's hidden strength emerges as she protects the prince from danger, seemingly putting an end to the immediate threat. However, as strange occurrences begin to unfold around her - unsettling changes in those closest to her and whispers of the possessor's influence still lingering - Brinny realizes the battle may have only just begun. With her world growing increasingly unstable, she must confront the possibility that the possessor's reach extends far deeper than anyone suspected. Now, caught between the life she once knew and a dark conspiracy that threatens everything she holds dear, Brinny must decide how far she's willing to go to protect those she loves from an enemy that could be hiding in plain sight.
