Returned to the four older brothers she barely remembers, Nova is a stranger in her own family - and they are strangers to the girl shaped by years in a home that was anything but safe. As the brothers struggle to rebuild trust, they begin to uncover the truth behind their parents' deaths, the altered will that tore them apart, and the shadowy figure who's been circling Nova for years. Secrets buried in old letters, missing pages, and long-forgotten debts begin to surface, revealing a past more dangerous than any of them imagined. started : 13/08/2025 published : 26/08/2025 finished : 00/00/0000

"Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.)

The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.

Perhaps she longed for the girl she was before her sister died. Or perhaps she longed for the safety blanket only her extroverted twin sister could provide her they didn't know. But one thing was for sure. Now, all April showers did was cry.
