Seventeen-year-old Athena has spent the last decade grappling with the pain of her mother's sudden departure. The question, "How can I forgive someone who had made a terrible decision?!" haunts her every day. Athena's extreme pistanthrophobia makes it nearly impossible for her to take the risk of forgiving and trusting again.
In the midst of her longing for her mother's touch, Athena finds solace in the anonymous letters she has been receiving for the past ten years. These letters, filled with warmth and encouragement, become her lifeline, giving her a sense of purpose and hope.
One day, an unexpected opportunity arises for Athena to reunite with her biological mother. As she navigates the emotional turmoil of this reunion, Athena clings to the letters from "Author 143," determined to find the person who has been her guiding light. With newfound courage, Athena embarks on a journey of forgiveness, healing, and self-discovery, hoping to mend the broken bonds of her past and embrace a brighter future.

All that is Darkness
To her mother she has always been Chloe, but to the rest of the world she has had many names. Her life is a fiction, like the stories in a book, changing from place to place, village to village, town to town, from one end of Haven to the other. It has been that way ever since she can remember: a life of secrets, constantly on the run, fleeing the mysteries of her mother's past. But now things are changing. She is changing. The world she thought she knew is a tissue of lies. Things are happening that she cannot explain: troubling dreams and nightmares that seem no less real than life itself. And as the truth about her mother begins to unfold, Chloe finds herself caught up in a web of intrigue and deceit that reaches back to before the founding of Haven, when plans were put in motion that would determine her future and set her on a path to places beyond her imagining. Questions mount, and answers remain elusive. And when a decades old book that maintains the world is not the way it's supposed to be comes into her possession, Chloe is in for the shock of her life. The deeper she digs, the more terrifying the truth, until at last she must confront the possibility that in a world where to be human is to be one of a tiny minority, she may not even be that. She may be something else. Someone else. And the only place she may be safe is in her other life.Complete
