Book preview · hero swapped

The new hero, quietly.

The close of the sub-flow. The process shot is now the top photo in the 2-photos-b layout; the original Mia Aquilina hero sits in the bottom well. No aside, no halo — the book simply is. Cook can keep going (Settings, Review, send to Hearth Press) or close the app and come back later.
