On April 13, Anya's life changes, not in a way anyone can see.

Thirteen years after her birthday, strange dreams begin to return. In them stands a silent girl, turned away, carrying a sadness that refuses to fade. At first, the dreams feel like nightmares. Then they begin to feel like memories. And finally, like a choice.

As Anya is drawn into a space between remembering and forgetting, she uncovers a truth about human cruelty, not born from monsters, but from ordinary people who looked away. The girl does not ask for forgiveness. She does not ask for justice.

She asks Anya to decide what happens next.

Caught between compassion and hatred, Anya must confront a question far heavier than revenge:
Is ending a cycle harder than continuing it?

A slow-burn psychological and emotional story about memory, responsibility, and the quiet power of mercy, A Nightmare is a novel about breaking what was never meant to be inherited.All Rights Reserved

The protection of her Anubis amulet waned, and the voices were no longer contained: they were horrors forged in chaos, hunting for demigods' hearts... And they wanted hers.

Now it may be the reason she's hunted. **FIRST DRAFT** + SHORT CHAPTERS + INCLUDES DIGITAL DRAWINGS + POLLS AFTER EVERY CHAPTER +WEEKLY UPDATES Follow the story in real time. 👻✌️💀
