Summary

She was never meant to exist. In Gildan, everyone is born the same: pale skin, light eyes, and fair hair. Princess Shani was not. Born with almond-brown skin and pointed ears, she spends her childhood hidden behind illusion magic and carefully learned silence. Within the palace walls, obedience becomes survival. Then everything falls apart. Forced beyond the only life she has ever known, Shani finds refuge in Silva Mortis, the forest her people call the Forest of Death. The forest could have killed her. It didn't. As old wounds reopen and the past refuses to loosen its grip, Shani must decide whether survival is enough... or whether she can become something more than what others tried to make her. A dark fantasy of family, identity, loss, and the courage to become yourself. Beloved Dawn Book One of the Dawn Trilogy New chapters every Wednesday & Saturday!

Map

The following map depicts the region of Draxia featured in Beloved Dawn.

While Draxia extends far beyond these borders, the lands shown here are the only world Shani has ever known.

Beyond the mountains, seas, and distant horizons lie other kingdoms, peoples, and stories. Their time will come.

For now, welcome to Gildan, the Silva Mortis, and the ancient world tree, Ael-Thira.
