When Dawn was a child, her mother's postpartum depression twisted into something far darker - an unthinkable act that left Dawn scarred for life. Physically disfigured and emotionally shattered, she should have grown to hate the woman who gave her those scars. But Dawn doesn't. Years later, driven by an aching need for answers-and perhaps for love-she sets out to find the mother who tried to kill her. Alongside a band of strange, broken adventurers who each carry secrets of their own, Dawn ventures into a world that mirrors her fractured reflection: beautiful, cruel, and full of things that refuse to heal. What she finds at the end of her search is not the mother she remembers, but something else-something changed, twisted by guilt, grief, and the ghosts of what she's done. Can forgiveness survive the truth? Or will Dawn's need for connection finally destroy her? A haunting tale of trauma, forgiveness, and the desperate hunger to be loved-even by the ones who hurt us most.
