The Silence of the Middle Child

Within the walls of Berlaso Manor, fire is more than just a source of warmth-it is a symbol of absolute power.

As the Warden of Fire, their father is revered by the kingdom as a noble protector. But behind the thick "Protective Mists" that shroud the estate, every shadow hides a truth that refuses to stay buried.

Layana, only seven years old, becomes the silent witness to the fire's darkest form. She sees the desecration of her eldest sister, Segunda-a discovery that shatters her innocent world. Trapped between a terrifying truth and a dangerous pretense, Layana must act as if she knows nothing to shield her youngest sister, Tala, from a similar fate.

This is a story of a family built on magic but broken by betrayal. How do you fight the flame when the one who wields it is the person you are supposed to trust most? Between the weight of silence and the hunger for vengeance, how much of her own soul is Layana willing to burn to find justice?
