A second generation ACOTAR story following Gwynriel's daughter, Catrin Berdara. & Feysand's son, Nyx Archeron taking place 43 years after ACOSF. Final part coming soon... This story centers on the main character, Catrin Berdara, being an advocate for female survivors. Allusions to SA, DV, stalking, abuse, & anxiety disorders are referenced in this story. The goal of this is to empower survivors, ensuring their voices are heard. I have done research into direct & vicarious trauma training but everyone's experiences with trauma are drastically different. Please reach out if there is an element of the story that you feel should have a clearer TW than is currently included. I am doing everything in my power to make sure that this story focuses on empowerment & doesn't shock or re-traumatize readers. Law & Order: SVU inspired my writing, specifically Olivia Benson.

Nesta Archeron has spend the last 6 months suppressing her power, her memories, and anything she and that Illyrian brute shared. Now, because of Feyre and her intervention, she is forced to travel with Cassian to the Illyrian Mountians to... to what? Get sober? Gain weight? Dig up what she has worked so hard to bury? No. Nesta would never let that happen. Let them cart her off with that bastard to the end of the world. He had stopped fighting for her the night of Solstice. She would never be a part of their perfect circle. She didn't want to be. Cassian would see that, and their little trip would end. Wouldn't it?
