*a Halo fanfic* Lily Smith, a 16-year-old Spartan known as Noble 6, fights to prove herself as the youngest member of Noble Team. After surviving the Covenant invasion of Reach, she joins the battle-hardened squad, determined to protect her home and those who cannot defend themselves. With her new armor and quick reflexes, Lily faces the brutal realities of war, but something from her past still haunts her. As she navigates the dangers of the battlefield, Lily must confront not only the enemy but also the shadows of her own memories-if she hopes to go beyond what she thought was possible.
