They were twin shadows-Nova and Malik Cyris. Feared in the underground. Respected by day. Unmatched in every world they touched.
But when tragedy strikes, their secret lives are shattered by something they never trained for: raising their five much younger half-siblings.
Now, the Cyris twins must juggle university day jobs, brutal night fights, and the explosive chaos of a house suddenly filled with grief, growth, and guilt.
Secrets bleed. Truths unravel. And the family name they all carry-Cyris-is more than blood. It's survival.
Each sibling is shaped by the fire. Some burn. Some rise. All fight.
This isn't just a story about family.
It's about legacy.
About what happens when you stop running-and decide to build a kingdom from the ashes.
Welcome to the House of Cyris.
And no-Cyris doesn't break.

In a world where biology and belief are weapons, Fault Lines cuts beneath the skin of progress itself; unearthing how far a system will go to perfect the human race... and how easily it can break the ones still trying to save it.

The Silent Sister
Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.
