Delilah grew up in a strict Christian home where every question had one answer: pray. But prayer never brought her the peace, clarity, or change she begged for. When life at home becomes unbearable and her world feels smaller by the day, Delilah comes across a person who makes her feel seen, Raven. Raven introduces her to rituals, candles, and "harmless" spells meant to guide her toward the life she desperately wants. For the first time, Delilah feels in control... until the lines between faith, desire, and something far darker begin to blur. As Delilah seeks change from forces she barely understands, she learns that every choice has a cost - and some doors, once opened, don't close easily.

Ariel was broken long before the world noticed. By her mother. By the people who watched and did nothing. By a life that made her believe she was better off gone. But when Ariel reaches the end, the end refuses her. She wakes in a fantasy realm that mirrors her own-where harpies fly, elves whisper of prophecy, and fate is not a suggestion, but a rule. There, Ariel discovers her intent alone can erase beings from existence. An ancient Entity intervenes. A forgotten father's sins resurface. And familiar faces appear where they shouldn't exist. Ariel wasn't spared. She was claimed. Author: It's a peak, and complex story, just give it a try :)
