Synopsis
Named after the sun, claimed by the moon. Tafoket has always felt out of place—her name, her heritage, even her own reflection. A girl caught between worlds, she hides her fire behind sarcasm and rebellion, until the boy she once trusted—and who shattered her heart—returns with dangerous secrets, nightmares, and a power that mirrors her own. But power has a cost. When nightmares bleed into reality, Tafoket discovers a darkness lurking beneath her skin—ancient, hungry, and tied to a destiny she doesn’t understand. Shadows whisper her name. Doors unlock in her mind. And the tattoos burning across her body are more than ink; they’re a warning. As the line between dream and reality crumbles, Tafoket must confront the truth: her name isn’t just a word. It’s a key. And whatever waits on the other side? It knows her better than she knows herself.

Chapter 1 - Introduction

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,
