And now, she remembers. As her truth unravels, so does her sanity. And as love reaches out to save her, Freedom must choose: To stay and shatter... Or disappear, before she ruins them all.

Wings of deceit
A tale of love not told in the light, but a tale told in the shadows. Of broken chains and bleeding hearts learning how to beat again. Once a slave, always a slave. It didn't matter how much you'd like to deny the fact; it wasn't possible. One couldn't outrun fate and time itself. No one was born free. So why did everyone seek freedom, despite knowing it was unobtainable? The reason was simple: because it hurt to live being chained.

She gives him bread. She gives him a name. And with that act, she changes both their fates forever. As the seasons pass, William learns to live for two-for the girl who saved him, and the ghosts he could not save. But in Koshmar, mercy is punished and hope rots faster than the body. When plague and war come for the village, love becomes rebellion, and survival demands more than endurance-it demands sacrifice. In a land where the wind keeps every secret, even kindness can kill.
