Fragments of Regret

Sins never die. They are inherited.

Karlyle Navarro, the first scholarship student at the prestigious Royal Academy of Nordurljós, arrives as an outsider-seventeen, brilliant, loyal, and unprepared for the politics of privilege.

Liora Wei, fifteen-year-old heiress of the vast Wei Empire, is everything the Academy pretends to celebrate but quietly rejects-melancholic, withdrawn, and burdened by rumors she cannot escape.

Their first encounter ends in disaster when Liora mistakes Karlyle's act of kindness for assault. Their second meeting, in the same classroom, feels like fate's cruel joke-avoidance no longer an option.

As the days unfold, Karlyle becomes the center of attention, adored and envied alike, while Liora remains invisible-an outcast even among the elite. His classmates warn him to stay away from her, whispering of something dark surrounding the Wei heiress.

But curiosity becomes compassion. And compassion, something deeper.
Bit by bit, Karlyle begins to unravel the mystery of the girl everyone avoids-until one day, without a word, Liora vanishes.

Her disappearance becomes the first crack in a chain of buried sins and generational regrets that tie Karlyle to families far more powerful-and broken-than he ever imagined.

In a kingdom where beauty hides decay and love becomes inheritance, one boy must confront the sins written in his blood before they consume everyone he cares for.

From city skylines to rain-soaked mountains, Fragments of Regret traces a lineage of abandonment and love - a story of generations repeating their mistakes until one final tragedy breaks the cycle.
