Fragments of the Forbidden

In **"Fragments of the Forbidden,"** Alieen lives in a vibrant world, shielded from a grim, desolate land by a high, unyielding fence. Her father's warnings about the people on the other side, whom he deems "purgatories," have always been a dark backdrop to her life. But when Alieen meets a boy who looks just like her but lives amidst sorrow and suspicion, she's faced with a profound dilemma. Despite their shared appearance, the boy's fear and the deep-seated enmity between their worlds seem insurmountable. As Alieen struggles to understand why such barriers exist and yearns to connect with the boy, she must confront the painful truths and prejudices that have long divided their worlds. **"Veil of Mistrust"** is a compelling exploration of innocence, separation, and the quest to bridge the gaps shaped by fear and misunderstanding.
