**will be told in Lottie's Point of View** Charlotte-known to most as Lottie-was a guide dog with a heart full of purpose and paws trained to navigate the world for her human, Glacier. Glacier, blind since childhood due to Retinoblastoma, relied on Lottie for everything: safety, freedom, confidence. For three years, they were inseparable-more than a team, they were soulmates bound by trust. But Lottie's career ended abruptly on a day that began with joy. While playing with a spark of puppy-like excitement, Lottie misjudged her movements around Button, a senior Husky-Labrador cross with little patience left for games. In a moment of startled instinct, Button attacked. The injury to Lottie's leg was severe. Despite every effort to save it, the vets had to amputate. The loss of her leg meant an early retirement. Lottie could no longer serve as Glacier's guide, and the sudden shift in her role left her adrift. She watched from the sidelines as Glacier learned to walk again-this time, with a new guide dog by her side. Aphina was young, full of raw energy and inexperience. But Lottie saw in her a familiar flicker-the potential to be great. Though no longer wearing the harness, Lottie found a new calling: guiding the guide. She took Aphina under her wing, teaching her the rhythms of Glacier's life, the silent language of trust, and the quiet strength needed to lead without doubt. What began as tragedy transformed into a new purpose. Lottie was no longer the eyes for Glacier, but the soul behind the scenes-the mentor, the memory keeper, the quiet presence reminding everyone what true service looks like. This is a story about resilience, purpose beyond circumstance, and the enduring bond between a guide dog and her person. Even with three legs and a retired harness, Lottie still leads-in a different way, but with the same steady heart. ⸻ Copyright and trigger warnings are inside.

Lights were always a bit too bright around me, but nothing was clear. Everything made sense and at the same time, nothing at all. Like, why am I here? Really. What's the point if I'm alive?? Because I was never truly living. ... Not until I met you. I may have been surrounded by light, but I felt so dark... So empty. Now, Can I be selfish? Just one more time? Please? Okay. Here it is... I will never regret meeting you. ... No matter how much it hurts to leave.

Eight teens. Eight hidden battles. One journey that could change everything. They thought a quiet village would bring peace. But healing isn't quiet-and neither are they. Between laughter and panic attacks, late-night confessions and unexpected bonds, they'll discover that the real journey isn't the one they planned-it's the one inside. A moving story of friendship, mental health, and what it truly means to be seen. If you haven't yet, start with Book 1: Revealing the Silences, then continue with Book 2: Invisible Struggles."

**She was meant to disappear into the dark. Instead, the dark carried her home.** Aurelia was taken from the sea and broken beneath stone-her body chained, her voice stolen, her identity erased. Kept alive only because a cruel king believed she held the secrets of the merpeople, she learned one truth above all else: Silence is survival. When a violent invasion shatters her prison, Aurelia expects death. What she finds instead is him. A warrior forged of shadow and restraint. A man whose power decays iron and bends fear into obedience. He does not ask her name. He does not demand her loyalty. He carries her out of the dark as if it is inevitable-like fate finally remembering her. But Theo of High Raven is not merely a rescuer. He is a prince of a kingdom carved from obsidian and ravens, where power is ancient, borders are guarded by monsters, and nothing survives without purpose. As Aurelia is drawn north into a land that blooms where it should rot. Caught between a throne that fears her, a kingdom that watches her, and a man whose silence feels more dangerous than any threat, Aurelia must lie convincingly enough to stay alive-while hiding a truth that could shatter borders, crowns, and gods alike. Because she is not ordinary. She never was. And if the world learns what sleeps beneath her skin- Even the Black Throne will not stand tall enough to stop her. A dark fantasy of secrets, slow-burn tension, ancient magic, and the dangerous pull between two forces the world was never meant to contain.
