Nuvaira Shahzaib Hashmi has lived her entire life feeling like a guest in her own home. Surrounded by people who share her name yet refuse to acknowledge her she has learned how to disappear quietly. She avoids mistakes. She hides her hunger. She keeps her voice inside her heart because speaking only invites trouble. Her father cares more about pride than parenthood. His new family enjoys comfort and attention while Nuvaira is treated like an obligation no one asked for. She grows up believing that love is a luxury meant for others and not for someone like her. Far from that house lives the boy who once promised to protect her. Saarim Ali Khan was forced to walk away when he stood up for the truth. He has since built a life defined by strength and determination. Yet every success reminds him of the sister he left behind and the mother he could not save. When their paths collide again Nuvaira and Saarim are no longer the children who clung to each other for safety. Fear has made her distant. Guilt has made him fierce. He knows he must earn her trust all over again and shield her from the cruelty she has never deserved. Noor-e-Khaamoshi is a story of a girl who was forgotten behind closed doors and of a brother who refuses to let silence define her forever. It is about the courage it takes to rebuild what was broken and the strength of a bond the world tried to erase. Sometimes the quietest hearts carry the brightest light.

Grace Tanya Valencia used to be a typical high school student. Not genius, not sporty, not a head turner, but just typical. She's jolly, talkative, and kind of hardheaded.

She started to see things that were beyond normal, or what we consider normal, for human nature. She has the ability to see a person's future by just touching them, and by just looking at their eyes, she can tell who's lying and who's telling the truth. Grace Tanya knew that she was different from others, but she refused to acknowledge it. She can see what's happening when time stops and the surroundings turn black and white, yet she remains silent, until one day she discovers that she's not the only one who's different. There are many of them. (Cover Photo is not mine. Credits to the real owner.) This story is written in Taglish (tagalog and english) language.

"Darkness doesn't always hide. Sometimes, it blinds." *** Emmanuella Orinomwen Ignenedion. Meticulous. Pristine. Disciplined. Clean. A wonderful assistant pastor to my father's mega-church. That is the script I feed to the world. To my parents, I am the perfect, submissive daughter. But that is only what they are permitted to see. They have never heard the screams silenced by the fire. Or the nightmares' golden promise of unyielding terror. For a long time, I preferred it that way. I buried my survival inside a tight-knit bubble of schedules. Out of sight, out of mind. But my clockwork existence shattered the moment Mary forced her way into my orbit. Unpredictable. Uninvited. An eye that saw what no one else had seen. And she made me see too. Darkness. Gross darkness that fueled my father's church. A rotting ledger of hidden cash, stolen lives, and an ancient malice hiding right beneath our pristine marble floors. With her, I realized: Words can be as thick as knives. Smiles as thin as paper. And blood can ripple as cold as deep water. Holiness or piety is not by mere words or appearance. Because I know, now better than anyone, that anything can be faked. As even the devil masquerades as an angel of light. I spent my life blind to the abyss in my own home. This is the story of how I stopped pretending. Note: mentions of some triggering content in this book
