Synopsis
Some secrets are buried in blood. Others demand it. Mira Viremont’s life shatters the night her brother stands over their mother with a knife—and her father dies protecting her. What should have been a single act of madness becomes the beginning of something far older, far more dangerous. An ancient book called Valecroft pulls Mira into a living past where castles breathe, kings rule through cruelty, and forgotten choices still bleed. Each return costs her blood. Each truth draws her closer to a world that remembers who she was—royalty trained to hide her strength, bound by power and betrayal. As Mira uncovers the fate of her brother and the lies written into both kingdoms, she realizes she is not the only one bound to this other world. The boy who steadies her in the present may be a prince in the past—and loving him may destroy them both. Caught between shadows and thrones, Mira must decide which world she belongs to… and how much she is willing to bleed to claim the truth.

Chapter 1 - Prologue

Some worlds do not fade when they are abandoned.

They wait.

Mira thought her life ended the night blood stained her hands and her brother vanished into the dark. But grief is not the end of a story—sometimes, it is the doorway. 

Haunted by fractured memories, a forbidden book, and a castle that calls to her when the moon is high, Mira begins to slip between two worlds bound by blood, power, and long-buried secrets.

Each return costs her more than pain. Each truth she uncovers brings her closer to losing the one person anchoring her to this world. And somewhere between royalty and ruin, past and present, her brother's fate waits to be revealed.

The question is not what she will find in the other world—

but whether she can survive what it asks of her.

Hey guys! This is my first time writing a story like this, and I'm sharing it with a lot of hope (and a little fear).

This book is filled with mystery, fractured memories, and a world that refuses to stay buried. If you enjoy slow-burn secrets, emotional tension, and stories that unravel piece by piece, I think you might find something here.

If you do read, I'd truly appreciate your thoughts—comments and feedback mean more than you know. They help me grow and keep writing. Thank you for giving this story a chance.
