    She was the quiet kind of girl. Introverted. Observant. The "nerd" everyone overlooked. Soft-spoken, shy, and painfully innocent. Aneira's world was small ; books, silence, and one single person she trusted more than anyone: Veyan. Veyan was everything she was not. The most popular boy in college. Cheerful. Loud. Surrounded by friends. Smiles came easily to him, and so did attention. Yet, no matter how many people stood around him, his heart always searched for her. He loved Aneira deeply... But only as a friend. And Aneira? She loved him the way lungs love air. The day she gathered the courage to confess, fate was already waiting to break her. "I love someone," Veyan said before she could speak. "Your best friend... Annita." Her confession died on her tongue. Days later, his parents came to her house with a marriage proposal. Not for him. For her. And with trembling lips and a shattered heart, Aneira whispered the words no one expected: "I want to marry your other son. Not Veyan." That was the day love turned into silence. And friendship into the most beautiful kind of pain.

Cast aside, betrayed, and forced to survive a brutal childhood, Daffodil spent her early years fighting battles no child should face. Betrayed by the father she worshipped, humiliated by the boy she once loved, she learned early that love was a lie. When her only source of light, her baby brother Nate, comes into her life, Daffodil becomes both sister and protector. But one act of violence tears them apart from the only world they've known. Twelve years later, Daffodil has risen from the ashes.

With Nate thriving under her fierce protection, Daffodil has built a life so dazzling that even her old enemies can only watch from afar. But when Blaze - the father who betrayed her - learns the devastating truth he was too blind to see, he comes searching for the children he abandoned. Torn between rage and the little brother who dreams of knowing his real father, Daffodil is forced back into the world that once destroyed her.
