After a deadly virus wiped out humanity, Lyana awakens-not in her broken world, but as a newborn cub in a realm ruled by mystical beastkin. With no memories of how she got there and a strange shard of magic pulsing near her heart, she is reborn among creatures who should see her as prey... yet choose to protect her as family.
Adopted by a fierce wolf mother and a noble tiger father, Lyana grows up in a magical forest, hiding the truth of her humanity and the mysterious powers awakening within her. Her memories of Earth whisper secrets she cannot share, but as she begins to create enchanted toys, cook Earth-style meals, and influence her tribe with quiet inventions, the world around her starts to change.
But not all change is welcome.
Whispers rise. A mirror reveals more than reflections. And a stranger watches her with eyes too knowing.
Can Lyana forge a new life while guarding her past? Or will the truth of who-and what-she is bring danger to the only home she has left?
A heartwarming slow-burn fantasy of rebirth, magic, found family, and quiet strength-with 100+ chapters of soft worldbuilding, beastkin romance, and a hidden destiny waiting to awaken.
