Fragments of the Veil

In a world where emotions take physical form as powerful Echoes, Lyra Thorne, a sixteen-year-old girl marked by a fragmented teardrop birthmark, has always believed she was a Sorrow-Binder—until her powers reveal something far more dangerous. When an attack on her village forces her to unleash a devastating, unstable Echo, she becomes a fugitive, hunted by the oppressive Harmonium, an organization that regulates all Echo-Binders. Joining a rogue group of unregistered Binders, Lyra uncovers the forbidden truths of Despair and Unity—hidden Echoes that defy the world’s rigid system. As her fractured powers grow, Lyra must confront the dark secrets of the Harmonium, the echoes of the past, and her role in shaping a future that could unite or destroy a divided world.
