🪞 WOMAN GOES TO WAR WITH HERSELF
Some wars are fought within. Everyone remembers, except me.
One year ago, a devastating psychological break tore sixteen-year-old Dahlia Cross's world apart, leaving behind a jagged black hole where her memories used to be. After twelve months away trying to piece her mind back together, she is finally returning home to finish her final year of school.
But walking back into her life isn't the fresh start she desperately needs. Her siblings watch her every move with suffocating caution, her old friends turn their backs in bitter anger, and the entire town treats her like a ticking time bomb.
Everyone knows exactly what happened the night her mind shattered. Everyone remembers the dark secret that ruined everything.
Everyone except her.
Dahlia is determined to uncover the truth, but the answers won't come easy. Her own diary sits locked away-a terrifying trigger she avoids like the plague, harboring secrets she isn't sure her sanity can handle. Instead, she is forced to decode the strange, tense reactions of those around her, chasing ghosts in her own hometown.
The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her reality becomes. Her only anchor is Malachai, a guy whose protective, fierce intensity sparks a high-tension connection that burns as much as it heals. He knows exactly what she did, but to protect her, he's staying silent.
When you are fighting a war against your own mind, the truth might just be the most dangerous weapon of all.
