When Gwendolyn Byers loses her twin to a darkness no one else can see, she learns how to survive in the spaces between fear, silence, and flickering lights. End of Beginning is a haunting story about absence, guilt, and the slow, terrible realization that some things don't come back whole.

Grief is not a straight line. It twists. It loops. It drags you back to the same memories you swore you'd already survived.
