Seventeen-year-old Selina has always felt like a quiet shadow in a world that never quite noticed her. While others label her the "serious girl" or the one who's always lost in her notebook, Selina wrestles with a deeper question-Who am I, really?
When her literature teacher assigns an essay titled Being Me, Selina is forced to confront the parts of herself she's kept buried: the silence, the fear, the dreams, and the deep desire to be seen for who she truly is. As she begins her journey inward, navigating her home life, personal thoughts, and social expectations, Selina starts to uncover fragments of her true self. But each discovery leads to more questions, not answers.
Just when she begins to write her truth, Selina stumbles upon a secret-a family revelation that threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew about where she came from... and who she might become.
And now, the real question is: can she tell her story truthfully, if she's not sure it was hers to begin with?

Different stars, same sky
Nova was born to be a weapon. Trained as an elite soldier, Nova once led a team that never came back. After a mission gone devastatingly wrong and a rampage that made even the Guardians fear her, her memories were erased. Now, she's seventeen again-at least on paper-living with distant relatives in a city that doesn't feel like home, attending a militarized academy built on the ruins of her childhood. She remembers her name. She remembers nothing else. Rebellious, haunted, and lost in the blur of a life she doesn't recognize, Nova starts seeing things-echoes of the friends she lost, pieces of her old self. The Elite Guardians are watching her, some suspecting she's faking it. Among them is Kade-cold, unreadable, and strangely familiar. And there are others: students, soldiers, ghosts, and enemies who seem to know more about her than she does herself. As Nova begins to unlock terrifying truths about her past, her powers return-and so do the questions: Who was she before they erased her? Why did her team really die? And what is she truly capable of now? In a world where secrets kill and memories lie, Nova must choose between the girl she was, the weapon they made her, and the future she wants. A story of broken memories, forbidden power, and a love that might cost everything.Complete

Harlow, 37, new to this part of town, new to the school, old to the weight of the world. Once a sweet girl who ached to be seen, now a woman shaped by silence and cold resolve. Sharp-tongued, guarded, emotionally untouchable, manipulative and entirely disinterested in attachments. She is the oldest daughter who walked away-from blood and businesses, from love, from everything that broke her. It's been seven years since she last let herself feel. And she likes it that way. Until Aurora. What begins as uneasy glances and sharp conversations becomes something far harder to ignore. Valentina sees the pain in the girl's eyes. The bruises beneath the surface. And suddenly, the woman who feels nothing is faced with a choice: walk away as she always has, or reach out-risking everything. This is a tale of longing and danger, where hearts shatter, wounds heal, and reopen. Again and again. A story of two women who were never meant to orbit, yet crash into each other anyway.

A love that could save-or destroy-them both. Maybe they'll piece themselves back together. And set the world on fire, together.

Now, Celina is caught between two worlds. The Devil, Kael, claims to be her protector, confessing he's watched over her since she was a child and has developed feelings for the woman she's become.
