Unruled

She was taught how to stand, how to dress, how to speak-how to exist without ever taking up too much space.
In a world governed by unspoken laws and rigid expectations, Nyx Arden De la Vega has learned to survive by obeying the rules written for her long before she had a voice. Every choice is measured. Every dream is edited. She convinces herself that this is safety, that discipline is the same as freedom, that escape is impossible. After all, when the walls have always been there, you stop questioning who built them.

As lines blur between rescue and self-discovery, she must confront a devastating truth: perhaps no one is meant to save her at all. Perhaps the hardest escape is not from the rules that shaped her-but from the belief that she needs permission to break them.
