For my beloved readers,
This is not just a story about powers or teenage angst.
This is about the war between who you were, who you are, and who you're meant to become.
Walk with Tafoket—not as a spectator, but as a mirror. Her fire is yours. Her fractures are familiar. And as she fights to reclaim the pieces of herself, you'll remember the girl you buried to survive.
For the ones who feel unrecognizable.
For the ones who burn but never crumble.
This is your story too.
*************
This is my first story—a piece of my soul wrapped in ink and fire. If Tafoket's journey moved you or made you feel seen. If you have any comments at all! I'd love to hear your thoughts. Your feedback isn't just appreciated, it's a gift.
Thank you for letting me share this world with you.
Enjoy,
