Welcomed Darkness

Maya Banks wanted no part of this war, yet as she entered her seventh year, the brutal murder of her beloved mother at the hands of The Order shattered her world. The moment the news hit, it felt as if the ground beneath her had crumbled, leaving her teetering on the edge of despair. In the chaos that followed, she realized she faced an impossible choice.

A choice that would force her to betray everything she had ever believed in, everything she had stood for throughout her life. The weight of that decision pressed heavily on her shoulders, and as she began to question the loyalties of those around her, her once-vibrant circle of friends dwindled to a mere handful. Trust became a fragile concept, and each glance felt loaded with suspicion.

Then, just when she thought she was utterly alone, someone unexpected stepped into her life, shattering her carefully constructed walls. This new presence was a wild card, a twist in her already tumultuous fate, and Maya couldn't shake the feeling that their arrival would change everything-forever altering the course of her life in ways she could never have predicted.
