Shadows of the Same Blood

Jisoo was once the overlooked daughter, a struggling teen trapped in the shadow of her seemingly perfect older sister, Jiyoon. But beneath Jiyoon's flawless façade lay manipulation, cruelty, and a darkness that would destroy Jisoo's life. From coerced drug use in her teens to the relentless gaslighting by those who should have protected her, Jisoo endured betrayal, isolation, and addiction - all while fighting to survive.

When the truth finally surfaces, it shatters the family she thought she knew. Jiyoon's sinister schemes are exposed in a gripping trial, her friends' testimonies revealing the extent of her cruelty, while Jisoo finds unexpected allies in friends and Taehyung, the boy who never abandoned her.

Shadows of the Same Blood is a raw, emotional journey that explores betrayal, healing, love, and triumph. It asks the haunting question: can a girl wronged by those closest to her rise stronger than ever, and will the family that abandoned her finally recognize the daughter they tried to destroy?
