In an empire ruled by silence and secrets, Ziyan, a noble-born girl, is marked by a strange lotus-shaped symbol-a sign of something ancient, powerful, and dangerous. When her own family betrays her and leaves her for dead, Ziyan is forced into hiding in the Eastern Capital, where loyalty is rare and truth even rarer.
By her side is Feiyan, a quick-tempered warrior with a mysterious past and a blade sharper than her tongue. Together, the two young women navigate a world of brothels, ministers, masked informants, and imperial schemes. As they chase answers and revenge, they uncover not only a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of court-but also the strength they find in each other.
Haunted by secrets and driven by survival, Ziyan must rise-not as a pawn, but as a force in her own right. And Feiyan? She'll fight to make sure nothing drags Ziyan back into the darkness-not even fate.
In a world where power is bought in blood and lies, two girls forge a path of their own.

Whispers in the Shadows: Act I
Once, Lirama believed in redemption. Now, she believes in survival. Bound by blood and shadow to a power that should not speak, she walks the edges of Faerûn-neither servant nor free, both a phylactery and a rebellion. When whispers of an ancient evil rise once more, she knows the truth: this is no war of kingdoms, no tale of heroes. It is rot festering beneath the world's skin. To stop it, she does not call on saints-but on the broken. A cursed assassin hunted by her past. A half-elf torn between night and moonlight. A storm-kissed sorceress who fears what she seeks. A fallen princess crowned in shadow. A charming barbarian fleeing legacy. An oathbreaker who still dreams of justice. Each bears a secret. Each carries a weight. And none of them walk this path for glory. As their blades are drawn and fates entwine, one truth becomes clear: Some wars are not fought in light- they are survived in shadow.Complete
