The Art of Her Reflection

Lirae Astrielle has always found solace in her paintings, where her brushstrokes mask her insecurities and fears. To the outside world, she's a talented but elusive artist on the rise. But behind her canvas lies a young woman struggling with self-worth, haunted by a voice that tells her she'll never be enough.

When a chance encounter at an art exhibit brings photographer Elian Novaire into her life, Lirae's world begins to shift. Elian sees beauty where Lirae only sees flaws, and through his lens, he teaches her to view her art-and herself-differently. But as their connection grows, so do Lirae's inner doubts.

With the support of her adventurous best friend, Siora Veyra, and the wisdom of her mentor, Isolde Tressyn, Lirae embarks on a journey to rediscover her worth, one brushstroke at a time. Yet her path is far from easy. Standing in her way is Rheon Vesper, a renowned artist with a cruel eye for critique, whose scathing judgments threaten to crush Lirae's already fragile confidence.

In the end, Lirae must decide: will she continue to hide behind her art, or will she allow her reflection to emerge, raw and unfiltered, for the world-and herself-to see?
