In a quiet village nestled between forests and mist, lives a girl named Iris-pale-skinned, sharp-eyed, and cloaked in charcoal and mystery. Found as an infant and raised by a humble woodcutter and his wife, she has always been different. Too quiet. Too watchful. The kind of girl people whisper about, but never approach.
She finds peace not among people, but in the stillness of the woods, where wildflowers bloom without reason, and shadows are softer than stares. Her only companion is a small squirrel she once tamed-more loyal than any human could be, and far more knowing.
What no one knows is that Iris carries a secret. One that begins to stir the moment she steps into the capital city...
And with each passing day, something ancient within her begins to remember.
"For even the quietest flame, when buried long enough, will burn through stone to reach the stars."
She hid her light in shadows.
Until the world demanded it rise......

Nobody's girl
Iris is seventeen. She's quiet, she's tired, and she's used to being invisible. At school, the bullying never stops. At home, her mother barely notices she exists-unless it's to criticize her. There's no one to lean on, no safe place to land. And the pain she carries? It's not just in her mind. It's carved into her skin, buried under skipped meals, and hidden behind fake smiles. Every day, Iris wonders how much longer she can keep going. Then he shows up. Loud. Reckless. The kind of boy who doesn't care what anyone thinks. He's everything she isn't until, somehow, he notices her. Really sees her. But when your whole world has taught you you're nothing, what do you do with someone who suddenly wants to know everything?

📜 Disclaimer Welcome, traveler, to a city of shimmering lanterns, winding alleys, and secrets hidden beneath the golden sands.

There will be laughter, danger, whispered secrets, stolen glances, and sparks that no magic could contain. So step carefully, for the streets of this city are alive with adventure, and every shadow might hide a challenge... or a heartbeat that belongs to someone daring enough to chase it. Reader discretion is advised for scenes of playful romance, teasing, and magical chaos. And remember: magic is real... if you choose to believe it.
Once Upon a Fairytale
Avoid looking into those golden eyes. One look is enough and you will be lost forever. Once upon a time, beyond the forests and mountains, where the leaves always wore the color of autumn, a girl with great talent grew up, with her mother and father. One day, however, their happiness was stolen by tragedy. Her mother fell ill and death called her to the other side. Nothing was the same anymore. Her father remarried. And in the end, time took him away too. Iris was left alone with her stepmother and stepsister. They made her a maid, a slave. A prisoner of a life she hated. But something deep inside her prevented her from leaving the house she grew up in - her home. There, as a child, she created all the miracles with her mother and wanted to continue doing so, to give joy to those less fortunate. Like when she made a dress for the butcher's wife, whom her husband no longer loved, that made her irresistible to him again. Or when she made a shirt for her best friend Jace that was supposed to protect him from the edge of swords, since he liked to provoke the royal guards. Her little secret. But one day, her peaceful life decides to take a completely different direction and everything goes wrong. She meets a prince. She helps her stepsister win him for herself. And ancient family secrets get involved when a demon she is magically bonded with appears. A long-hidden story begins to unfold before her, revealing the truth about her mother, her ancient ancestors, and herself. And it all started with her simply taking off the necklace she should never have taken off.Concluida
Roots of Starlight
Raised among humans in a lantern lit village at the forests edge, Lirael has always felt the pull of the forest. Her ears are just a little too pointed, her eyes glimmer with a faint green light, and when the night wind whistles through the trees, she swears it calls her name. Found as a baby wrapped in gold cloth beneath an ancient oak, she has never known who she is, or where she truly belongs. When an old charm left from her infancy awakens with a pulse of starlit magic, Lirael sets out to uncover the lost realm of the forest elves, a people thought long vanished. Her path leads through quaint villages, enchanted glades, and moon drenched valleys, where cozy hearths and soft spoken wonders await. Along the way, she meets a wanderer whose quiet strength draws her heart as surely as the forest draws her spirit. As she journeys deeper into the heart of magic, Lirael must decide what "home" truly means; blood, roots, or the bonds we choose to grow. Roots of Starlight is a tender, romantic fantasy filled with forest light and belonging. A tale of gentle courage, ancient magic, and love that blooms like moonlit wildflowers.Concluida
