Some children inherit a name.
Others inherit a secret.
Born outside the bounds of marriage, Iraya entered the world carrying a truth that could never be spoken aloud. To protect a promise made long before she could understand its weight, she was raised knowing only fragments of her own story.
For eighteen years, she never questioned the life she had been given. Until the silence began whispering back. The answers she has searched for her entire life lie hidden behind carefully guarded lies, forgotten promises, and a destiny that was never truly hers to choose.
Because sometimes, the greatest secret is not who you are.
But who you were never allowed to become.
++
illegitimate (adj.)
1530s, "born out of wedlock," formed in English (and replacing earlier illegitime, c. 1500), modeled on Late Latin illegitimus, "not legitimate" (see il- + legitimate).
