Althea lived an ordinary life, her days shadowed by loss and solitude. On her 20th birthday, everything changed. She awakened to extraordinary powers and a revelation that shattered her reality-she is the rightful queen of a distant, magical realm.
Althea's life was woven in the threads of ordinary-mornings softened by her cat's quiet demands, evenings tangled in laughter with friends, and the steady rhythm of days unremarkable. But fate does not weave idle patterns. Beneath the mundane, something stirs. A name lost to time. A legacy buried in whispers.
Between fleeting visions and murmurs of an unseen world, the air hums with a magic she does not yet understand. The stars have long written her path, but the ink of destiny is never dry.
Some fates are chosen. Others awaken.
