Beneath The Halo

They called her the Precious One.

A princess.
A blessing.
Holy.

Sera never believed them.

Something inside her has always felt terribly wrong.

When a hidden secret forces her to flee the kingdom, she finds refuge with a mysterious thief whose shadow is far more beautiful than it should be.

Together, they disappear into a world of curses, forgotten gods, and things that should have remained buried.

And slowly, Sera begins to wonder-

What if she was never meant to be holy at all?

What if the darkness has always known her name?

And what if she should never have existed?
