When the world sings in perfect harmony, what happens to the girl who hears it breaking?
Annelin was only three years old when she first heard the note that didn't belong-a soft, shivering dissonance hidden beneath the world's perfect song. In the city of Sonndera, where every breath, step, and heartbeat is part of a great harmonic design, her ears alone catch the fractures.
No one believes her. Not her teachers. Not the elders. Not even her closest friends.
Until the day of the Auralis Convergence-when the city's grandest crescendo shatters around her, and a forbidden chord touches her mind.
Now accused of disrupting the most sacred event of the year, Annelin finds herself caught between the awe of those who fear her and the silence of the Musicians-the ancient, near-mythic creators of the world itself.
But the song of Liorae is unraveling.
And Annelin might be the only one who can still hear its truth.

She gained friends because of it, she was admired by many, and was praised by her superiors. She enjoyed the spotlight she never knew she'd attract. But of course not all things are permanent. Just like how her light quickly faded in a blink of an eye. Just as she was about to show more, she wasn't given a chance. She started doubting herself, asking why she wasn't enough. There was a lot more left in her that she hadn't shown. She felt betrayed, not only by the people who supported her but mainly by her own skills who couldn't reach her own expectations. She doubted it, even recents herself as to why she let herself down. Until she decided that it was all useless and tried to forget the things that made her, her. Not until Yohan Grace came into her life. A boy who seemed to be good at everything he does. She somehow sees herself in him. She dislikes it, how can Yohan's spotlight never left him just like how hers left her? How can someone's light remains shining as if it's loyal to him?

The fourteenth shift
Every year on February 8th, every fourteen-year-old is taken. No one knows where they go until it's their time. The place is hidden, the training brutal, the purpose clear: prepare them for the wars of a world kept in shadow. It's not punishment. It's not exactly a rescue either. It's something in between - a shift from innocence into something far more dangerous. When Jaquetta Virellith is taken, she stands out from the start. With violet hair and powers born from nightmare, she sees things no one else can - visions of death, destruction, and suffering that leave her body frozen and her soul shaken. Her fears are as unique and frightening as her gift: a terror of losing control, of tight spaces, of food, of sickness. She keeps them hidden behind a stillness that unsettles even the instructors. By her side is Liri Thalen, fierce, funny, and full of fire, whose bright pink braids and rapid-flash movement power make her impossible to miss - or ignore. But even Liri has fears she won't admit aloud: the dark, being left behind, and not being enough when it matters. Kael Drennor, with dusk-blue hair and shields made of light, is built to protect - and yet he's crumbling inside. Haunted by a fear of deep water and the secrets he keeps buried, he doesn't expect to feel drawn to Jaquetta. But something in her silence echoes his own. And Rowen Stride, silver-haired and sharp-tongued, has powers rooted in sound and humor hiding something quieter - a fear of failure, of being forgotten, of being truly known. Liri gets under his skin in ways no one else can. Together, they will be tested. Their fears will be used against them. And some of them won't come out the same. But for him... he couldn't resist her beautiful sapphire blue eyes.Complete
The Edge of Almost

One year to pretend I'm fine, to laugh when I'm breaking, to love him in silence before I'm gone.

Because if I let myself fall completely, I'll shatter both of us when the year ends. Jonah~ She thinks she can keep me at arm's length. That her sharp words and slammed doors will make me give up.

But I'm not letting her go-not when she's the only thing I've ever wanted to fight for. What if the person you hated most was the only one who could save you? Mila is seventeen and tired. Tired of fighting, tired of pretending, tired of believing she'll ever be enough. She's convinced she's unlovable and wants to end it all -until Jonah crashes into her world like an unwanted storm. He's loud, reckless, impossible. She's quiet, guarded, done. But life doesn't care that they're opposites. Somehow, they keep getting thrown together-and somehow, it starts to matter. As the chaos of growing up threatens to break them and secrets from their families threaten to uproot them, Mila and Jonah might just learn that love doesn't always look like what you expect... and that sometimes, the right person is the one you never saw coming.
