After All the Almost

Kaelin spent years chasing a fate that was never meant for her, a bright promise dangled like bait. She followed it blindly, ignoring the quiet warnings in her bones, until the path snapped shut around her like a trap. One betrayal. One night of ruin. And the future she worshiped turns to ash.

Crawling out of the wreckage, Kaelin discovers another fate twisting beneath the surface of her life, older and far less forgiving. Shadows whisper truths she was never supposed to hear. The people she trusted carry secrets that warp the past. And the girl she thought she was begins to rot away, piece by piece.

But in the dark, something else awakens in her. Something fierce. Something honest.

Now Kaelin must face a cruel question: cling to the pretty lie she bled for, or descend into the fate that has hunted her from the beginning... a fate that might devour her, or finally set her free.
