One Cup of Sunshine - Vol 1

Cael Sylae is a beautiful city built on contradictions-neon towers beside cracked cathedrals, elegance wrapped around corruption, and heroes who shine brightest only after they've burned.

Grace Lott is no hero.
She's a one-legged barista working the morning shift at Sharebucks, barely holding her life together with caffeine, fake smiles, and the stubborn hope that tomorrow might hurt a little less.

She dreams of becoming a knight.
Life made her a pirate.

Between late bills, a failing scholarship, and the ghosts of a childhood she would rather forget, Grace hides her pain beneath sarcasm and sunshine. Even when she gets knocked down-literally-during a street incident that goes viral, she laughs it off and keeps moving.

But Cael Sylae has a strange way of pulling gentle people into its storm.
