Letters to the Lantern Boy

Every year, on the eve of the Fire Lantern Festival, students at Elarose Academy write anonymous letters and drop them in the "Lantern Box" to be delivered with a floating lantern. It's a tradition meant to honor lost loved ones or secret wishes.

Seventeen-year-old Liora Mae, a quiet painter with a haunted past, starts receiving beautifully written letters each month - not just during the festival - signed only:
"The Lantern Boy."

The letters are deeply personal, filled with poetry, thoughts on life, and references to things no one should know about her - especially things she's never told anyone.

Determined to uncover who he is, Liora starts following the clues in the letters. Along the way, she finds herself growing closer to three very different boys:

Ari - the golden boy with a broken smile,

Rowan - the quiet musician with shadows in his eyes,

Kai - the witty troublemaker who sees through her walls.

Each has a secret.
One is the Lantern Boy.
One is hiding something darker.
One will break her heart.

But when the final letter reveals a painful truth tied to her past, Liora must decide:
Is knowing who the Lantern Boy is worth the cost?
