Magical sparkles and trauma:
(posting only one chapter until I can fully revise a few chapters and get this published DONT STEAL OR TAKE INSPIRATION GET THE FREAK OUT YOU BOTS anyways for my humans here is the blurb):
Marisol "Yuki" Feliciano is a ruthless criminal destined for the gallows, a terrible creature with no heart, as vicious as a wolf-or at least that's what Duke Uroyoán says. Orphaned at seven, Yuki has been surviving the streets of the South Wind with nobody but a rat, her trusty bronze blade, and the hope that the Lost Lord would someday return and give her a life in which she wouldn't suffer alone. But when a raid goes wrong, Yuki is chased into the city of Dahlia and she crashes into destiny: a secretive and sharp tongued boy named Arashi Meinai, who claims someone has been looking for her for years. On top of that, a cult known as "the Crows" is searching for the Daughter of the Sun and Sea, a key figure in the Great Prophecy, and the Cursed One, a man who is said to control the devil himself, the Shadow.
Yuki discovers she isn't as unimportant as she thought. Dead ones emerge as not truly dead, and Yuki is forced into a mission to search for the Cursed One and find him before the Crows can get their talons on his powers with the help of Arashi Meinai and his best friend Kaede Tokeshi. Accepting means leaving the South Wind-and returning empty handed means death. But missions are never that simple.
Supposedly dead friends come out as madmen, the line between friends and enemies is blurred, the secrets of the Shadow and the Flaming War become uncovered, and the truth is revealed in the land between Zephyrous and Hell: the Cursed One is nothing like what Yuki expected.
