Faterewritten Stories

They were only supposed to take a walk. Six friends - Tessa, Mira, Maddie, Marlow, Jace, and Lucas - stumble upon a soaked, half-buried book in the woods. A strange riddle clings to its cover: Find the missing pages and wake up to reality. The book knows them. It knows their memories. It knows their future. And the more pages they uncover, the more they realize that everything they've ever known - their pasts, their friendships, even themselves - may be nothing more than stories someone else wrote. Worse yet, the book claims one of them doesn't want the truth found. Because one of them already knows the truth. And they will do anything to keep the others asleep.

A reincarnated painter with empathy on her fingertips swerves a deadly fate by accepting an arranged marriage to a stoic duke, only to discover that love is not a thunderclap but a patient layering-glaze over glaze-until two lives share the same light.
