What if magic could live alongside science and not negate one another? What if there was a way to explain the unexplainable? What if everything you knew about the world turned out to only be a little piece of a bigger puzzle? Sophie lived her whole life trying to be the perfect daughter, the perfect student and not cause any trouble. But striving for perfection can often leave you doubting yourself more than anything. Taking one's first steps into adulthood always comes with significant changes, but for Sophie, they are vastly different from anything she has ever imagined. She unravels a whole other world that she has always been a part of - but had no idea existed. Will Sophie be able to navigate this unfamiliar journey, or will she cave under the pressure of her legacy? *** This story has been brewing in my mind for countless sleepless nights. It is my comfort place I still keep running away to in stressful times. I keep discovering this world and the character of Sophie, who started as a reflection of my own struggles and insecurities, but developed and changed into her own person, one I'm very proud of. My dream has always been to gather all my ideas about this story in one place and share it with others to enjoy and immerse themselves in. Turquoise sky used to live only in my imagination, and I'm sure as I write it down, it will keep evolving and changing, and I'm excited to take you on this journey with me.
