AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thank you so much for beginning this story! I hope Yara's version of this familiar world brings a new, interesting spin to it. This ACOTAR fanfic has been literal years in the making and I'm proud to post this on a forum and share my love of the ACOTAR world with all of you. The events of this story chronologically align with the last few months of A Court of Silver Flames, although it was written before ACOSF was released, so those events won't be mentioned too much.

Please note that Yara's story is one of healing and rebirth, and deals with heavy concepts such as sexual assault (SA), violence, PTSD, abuse, and graphic sexual scenes. I've included a warning with each chapter in the table of contents that deals with such matters. I'd love to hear any thoughts, comments, or questions, and if you have any theories as to what will happen next!

Also, I am very happy to announce that my original story, Daughters of Light, has officially been published!! If you enjoy historical fantasy and magical realism that combines angels and demons and romance, it's worth checking out! For US citizens, it can be purchased online at Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
