After the Storm (Marabella Series #1)

Some lights don't burn out - they just need someone to believe they still can.

Alejandra grew up with the kind of pain no child should carry, blamed for her father's death, unloved by the mother who once wore a crown, and raised in a house that reminded her daily of what she had lost. Once bright and full of wonder, Ale learned to shrink herself, burying her laughter beneath chores, silence, and shadows.

She tried to shine, but the weight of her past kept her in the dark.

But everything begins to shift when someone quietly sees past her scars, noticing the warmth she still hides and the brilliance buried under years of hurt.

As she slowly finds herself confronting the storm she thought she'd already survived, Alejandra learns that healing isn't always gentle. Sometimes, it means breaking again before you finally bloom.

After the Storm is a story of trauma, tenderness, and the kind of love that doesn't save you, but reminds you that you were never beyond saving.

After the storm passes, will she find the courage to rise - or will the shadows hold her down forever?
