Zara believed her life was built on truth-until one secret shattered everything she thought she knew.
Taken from the only mother she has ever loved and forced into the home of a woman who gave birth to her but feels like a stranger, Zara finds herself trapped in a house thick with resentment, guilt, and buried lies. Her step-sister despises her presence. Her biological mother is desperate to fix the past. And no one is telling Zara the full truth about why she was brought back.
Then the whispers begin.
Shadows linger where they shouldn't. Dreams bleed into reality. And a dark, ancient force known as Maledictxys stirs-drawn to Zara in ways she can't escape. It promises her everything she's ever wanted: power, belonging, freedom from pain. Power strong enough to destroy anyone who stands in her way.
But every gift has a cost.
If Zara embraces the darkness, Maledictxys will rise-and the world will burn by her hand.
If she chooses the light, the creature will be sealed forever... at the price of her own life.
Caught between fractured family ties, forbidden power, and relationships that leave her broken yet craving more, Zara must decide who she truly is before the choice is ripped from her entirely.
This is a story of identity, abandonment, and temptation-where love can save, power can corrupt, and the most dangerous decision of all is choosing whether to live for yourself... or die to save everyone else.
