Alandrito
She was born into poverty and hatred, branded as the family's pain, the girl no one wanted. But beneath the silence and sorrow, she carried a secret: when she looked into someone's eyes, she could see the exact time and cause of their death.
Terrified of her gift, she hides it-until the visions begin to come true. As whispers of witchcraft spread and love becomes dangerous, she must choose: warn the living and risk being hunted, or stay silent and watch fate unfold.
When she sees her own death reflected in a mirror, everything changes.
Set in a world where time is carved into flesh and fate bleeds through stone, The Curse of Time is a story of rejection, prophecy, and the aching question:
Can you change fate-or only watch it break?

✍️ Author's Note
This story was born from silence-the kind that lives in families, in poverty, in the eyes of those who feel unwanted. I wrote The Curse of Time not to glorify pain, but to transform it. To ask what we do when we carry a gift that feels like a curse. To explore how love survives when death is always near.
I believe stories can comfort, disturb, and awaken. This one does all three.
If you've ever felt like the outsider, the burden, the one who sees too much-this book is for you.
And if you've ever wondered whether fate is fixed or fragile, I hope this story helps you find your answer.
