She does not remember her name. She does not remember the fire. But it remembers her. Reed wakes in a world that greets her with suspicion and silence. With every touch, something burns. With every breath, something inside her stirs—not quite rage, not quite a memory, but something old and waiting. They say the gods choose their champions. But they don't say what happens to the ones who burn too bright. As Reed is drawn into a forgotten prophecy and a world that hides more than it reveals, threads of fate begin to pull—threads tied to flame, to sorrow, and to a protector who knows more than she says. As her bond with a mysterious protector deepens and buried powers resurface, Reed must decide— Will she follow the thread that binds her to fate, or burn it all to ash? Because some fates are stitched in flame. . . And some girls were never meant to be saved. Because Reed was never meant to survive—she was meant to ignite. And when she remembers who she was—it may already be too late.

I moved into this house for peace. What I found was a voice — whispering beneath the floorboards. At first, I thought it was in my head. Sleep-deprived illusions, the old wood creaking. But the voice grew louder. It called my name. It told me things only I should know. It begged. It threatened. It wept. And every time I listened... I changed. As days blur into nights and reality slips through the cracks, I no longer know if I’m the only one living here. Or if the house is alive — feeding on me, molding me, watching me. This is not just a haunting. This is a descent — into the darkest parts of a mind, and a house that refuses to let go. You might hear them too, once you start reading. But be warned… The deeper you listen, the louder they become.
