The Tempest Heart

Before the storms, Rose was invisible.

For most of her life, she survived by making herself smaller-quieter, gentler, easier to ignore. Years of manipulation and emotional conditioning taught her that her value came from what she could give others, not who she was. So she learned to smile through pain, apologize for taking up space, and carry burdens that were never hers to bear.

Only a few people ever saw through the mask. Especially Azriel. Her closest friend. Her anchor. The one person who notices every forced smile, every hidden wound, and every storm she tries to weather alone. But Rose's struggles are more than emotional.

Whenever her feelings become too strong, the world responds. Rain follows her grief.
Thunder answers her fear. And when those she loves are threatened, something ancient awakens beneath her skin.

As mysterious visions begin to reveal fragments of a forgotten past, Rose discovers that the storms surrounding her are not a coincidence. Buried deep within her soul lies the Tempest Heart-an ancient power capable of shaping the skies themselves. A power long thought lost.

Now strange figures watch from the shadows, forgotten forces stir from centuries of slumber, and a hunt has begun for the girl who was never supposed to exist.

With dangerous truths emerging, Rose must unravel the mystery of her origins before those seeking the Tempest Heart find her first. But the greatest challenge may not be mastering the storm.
It may be learning that her worth was never determined by how much she sacrificed for others.

Because for the first time in her life, Rose is being asked to choose herself.
And the storm within her is tired of being silenced.
