Flame of shadows
When a girl taught to believe she's insane begins to question the lies that built her reality, the truth waiting beneath may shatter both her world - and the one beyond it. Synopsis: Coryna has spent her life trying to silence the voice of madness her mother insists lives inside her. The boy she once loved - the one who made her feel seen, alive - never existed. Kyran was a figment of her imagination, a symptom of the sickness her family has always feared. At least, that's what she's been told. But the medallion she wears - a bronze circle etched with a phoenix and seven stars - pulses when she touches it, as if remembering something she's forgotten. Shadows whisper her name. And when fragments of dreams start to blur into waking life, Coryna begins to wonder if the lie was never hers. As reality fractures, she's drawn toward Lumendara - a hidden realm of light and shadow, where magic breathes and truth demands sacrifice. There, love and betrayal intertwine, and the line between sanity and illusion fades into something dangerous and beautiful. Flame of Shadows is a story of love lost and remembered, of a girl torn between the expectations of a cruel world and the call of one that was never supposed to exist. Because some ghosts aren't born of madness... they're born of destiny.
