Elyra has lived in the shadow of her twin sister, Eliana, ever since the tragic accident that took Eliana's life. Blamed by her parents and older brother, Caleb, she endures years of mistreatment, forced into servitude in her own home while carrying the unbearable weight of their hatred. What they don't know is that Elyra is dying-secretly battling terminal cancer, with only fourteen days left to live. Each day is a struggle, not just against her failing body but against the family who wishes she had died instead of Eliana. But when Caleb stumbles upon her hidden medication, his world shatters. The sister he despised is slipping away, and for the first time, he sees the truth-she was never the villain they made her out to be. As the days tick down, Caleb tries to make amends, but fate is cruel. On Elyra's last day, an accident leaves him in desperate need of a heart transplant. With no hesitation, Elyra makes the ultimate sacrifice, forcing the doctors to proceed without their parents' consent. Caleb wakes up with a new heart, only to realize the price of his survival-his sister is gone. The family that once scorned her is left drowning in regret, but it's too late. Elyra is nothing more than a whisper in the wind, a fading echo of a love that was never returned. A heartbreak tale of pain, redemption, and love found too late.
