Chapter 1 - Author’s Note

Hello, lovely readers! 💫

Some of you might recognize this story. For those who don't—welcome! You're about to embark on a journey through Oakhaven, and I'm so excited to have you here.

For my returning readers: Yes, this is a remake of my previous series, Marked By The Numbers.

When I wrote the original, I was just starting out as a writer. The story had heart, but looking back, I knew I could do better. I wanted to slow down, dig deeper into the characters, and build a world that felt more alive. The ritual. The pendant. Kael's relationship with his mother. All of it deserved more space to breathe.

So here we are. A reimagining. A chance to tell the story the way it was always meant to be told.

If you're new here—welcome aboard. If you're returning—thank you for giving this story another chance. I promise it'll be worth the read.

The original will remain up for those who prefer it. This is simply a different vision. A deeper one.
