Love of Iris

Anastasia Xylien Valerius was once a sweet, fragile woman who gave her everything to the man she dreamed of spending her life with. Together, they built futures and promised forever―but destiny had other plans. Their relationship unraveled into chaos, and no matter how hard she tried to fix herself or their bond, she lost him. The man she wanted to marry, the one she pictured waking up beside each morning, was gone.

Left broken and traumatized by the worst breakup of her life, she became unrecognizable―her laughter faded, her smile never quite reached her eyes, and she wandered in darkness for years. Haunted by questions of whether she'd ever find her way back to herself, or if another trauma would shatter her completely, she thought happiness was lost forever.

But in the depths of her despair, she found a glimmer of light―a "candle" that lit her path home. Now, as she begins to heal, she must face her greatest fear: will this new chance bring the happy ending she's always wished for, or will the past repeat itself and destroy the love of her iris once more?
