Elara battles a rare immune disorder while the Ashborne Foundation repeatedly strips her Medical Ambassador title and sole experimental cure to benefit Kael's adopted sister, Rosalie. At a family gala, a severe lily allergy attack is dismissed as drama, resulting in Elara being locked in a basement where she nearly dies. She escapes north and joins the Vale Family, where Cassian helps her access treatment and recover. Three years later, she reappears at an Ashborne gathering as the Vale Family's Medical Ambassador, a position earned through her own merit. Confronted with belated apologies, she refuses to return to the people who abandoned her.
