Lore
The Purple Flash
Atop A Wall · Book 1
A flicker of purple at the very moment the sun goes down. Lira means to find out what it is.
Some evenings, from Lira’s ledge on the duskward cliff, just as the sun slips under the far edge of the Wall, there is a flash. It is quick, bright, and unmistakably purple. Then it is gone.
Nobody in Briar can explain it, and most have never thought to try. Lira has decided she will be the one to solve it, and once Lira has decided something, she does not let it go.
Whatever it is, it lies duskward, the opposite way from where this story goes.
