HerReading
An empty gaze.
A frozen heart.
~ { This is your destiny, Lilykit. You cannot fight it, cannot escape it, cannot try to change what StarClan told me all those moons ago. } ~
DewClan has protected Lilykit since birth, but a tragic accident shatters her future, leaving both her flawless white coat and her soul permanently scarred. Once the pride of her parents, Lilykit is suddenly cast aside. Turned away by a mother obsessed with beauty and a father ashamed to have ever called her his kit, she drowns in a suffocating whirlpool of self-consciousness and isolation.
She is lost before anyone notices-not physically, but mentally.
As the cruel snarks of her sister, Lavenderpaw, push her over the edge, the hot rage inside Lilypaw cools into something far more dangerous. In the shadows, she learns to bury her agony behind a mask of absolute, unfeeling calm. She sheds her innocence, and is determined that no one will stop her from blazing a path of hatred.
Cold claws grip DewClan and threaten to throw Clan life into catastrophe. When an innocent cat learns to hide her emotions perfectly, no one is safe from the monster they created.
