Embers of Regret

Following Lily's tragic death, the tight-knit circle of friends left behind is shattered. Madison is consumed by guilt, Ethan struggles to support both Blake and himself, and Blake wrestles with his sense of identity and safety at home. As summer unfolds, the group attempts to piece together what remains, but wounds cut deep, and healing is far from linear. New faces emerge, old enemies escalate, and the start of sophomore year threatens to undo the fragile progress they've made. When secrets surface and loyalties fracture, they'll each be forced to confront who they truly are-and what they're willing to risk for the people they care about.
