Finding Light In Darkness ~ Twilight

| She wasn't born silent. The world stole her voice. |

At six years old, Madeleine Swan was torn from her home and locked away in an asylum, abandoned by the very people who should have protected her. Her mother called her broken. Her sister called her a freak. They didn't just hurt her - they made sure no one would ever listen.

But even in silence, she wasn't alone.

She saw them - the ones who lingered, the ones no one else could see. And one of them, a presence that had followed her since childhood, never left. Always watching. Always protecting.

For nearly a decade, the asylum was all she knew. Cold halls. Quiet suffering. And Starlette Caswell - the girl who became her only light in the darkness, her family when she had none. Together, they endured. Together, they survived.

Until the day everything changed.

People came for her. Important people. People who should have found her long ago. They were too late to undo the past, but not too late to save her. Not too late to protect her from the mother and sister who still wanted to destroy her.

But some wounds don't heal. Some ghosts never leave.

And some voices refuse to stay buried.

I'm so excited to write this, but I must warn you that this book will contain domestic violence, abuse, swearing, self-harm, and so on, but of course, I will put a warning when I get to it!
