Lysera was born on October 15th beneath a pale and unwelcoming sky, carrying within her a trait that set her apart from every other child. From the moment she could understand words, she was haunted by voices that were not her own - the whispered death wishes of strangers, murmurs of despair and longing for an end that only she could hear. She was also born with a book and a quill that drifted beside her wherever she went, unseen by others yet tangible to her touch, as though bound to her very existence. To the world, she was simply a quiet girl with distant eyes, but in truth, every day was a battle to silence the endless stream of sorrow echoing inside her head.
As Lysera grows, her gift - or curse - becomes heavier to bear. The gods themselves had marked her as something dangerous, though she never asked for such a fate. Through her journey, she must learn whether this ability will destroy her from within or lead her toward a greater purpose hidden beyond the veil of suffering. Her path is one of loneliness, resilience, and the search for meaning in a life where death is never silent.

When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is.

And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along?

21st Birthday
Kyra grew up in a house that looked like joy and echoed like grief. A home full of rooms, relatives, rituals..everything but the space to feel. From the outside, it was the picture of tradition and love. On the inside, it was a slow, unspoken undoing. She wasn't the daughter who made people proud. She didn't fit the mold-didn't color inside the lines, didn't walk softly. She broke things. Laughed too loudly. Felt too much. And for that, she became the problem no one could name but everyone could feel. This is a story of a girl who tried to stay alive in a place that only wanted her quiet. Told in fragments, like how we remember people we failed. Told in echoes, like how grief haunts even after the body is gone. Told not because it ends in hope but because it matters that it happened. A story about the kind of love that suffocates. About families that feed you but never see you. About how the brightest children can disappear while everyone's looking. She was ten when she thought she had the whole world. She was twenty-one when she realised no one ever truly saw her. And by then, it was already too late.Complete
