The Heart Labyrinth

Sandrine never asked to come to Magwayan.

Sent to live with the father who abandoned her, she expected awkward dinners and a countdown to the day she'd finally go home. What she didn't expect was a town that seemed to pop from a polaroid of greens or poem of serenity, where kindness comes wrapped in words she never thought she would have the chance to hear, and a door that hides something this town did not wish to name.

Two years, she told herself. Two years, and she'd be free.

She never counted on staying forever.

Now marked as the next bride of something that isn't human anymore, Sandrine has one way out: a labyrinth, riddles that never seemed to end, and a blind, old woman who speaks only in half-truths. But some doors don't lead to freedom. They lead deeper into a love story that ended in fire, betrayal, and a pure heart that was never meant to be stolen.

To save herself, she'll have to decide what she's willing to lose. And who she's willing to leave behind.
