Shadows of the Lost
Lost, without a past, and hunted for a crime she can't recall. Z, a powerful Shadow Wielder with no shadow, finds herself entangled in a world she barely understands, navigating treacherous politics and veiled threats. Why does her face change for different beholders? Who is Blame Seirt, and why do powerful forces believe Z is her? Unravel the mysteries of Pasithea, where shadows are currency, and identity is a fluid, dangerous secret.The warm May morning breeze carried the scent of salt and the distant laughter of tourists, a stark contrast to the churning anxiety in Z's gut. Beside her, George Williams, ever the picture of boisterous optimism, gestured grandly at the crowded beach.
"Can’t you see the beauty of Pasithea?" he boomed, his eyes bulging with exaggerated wonder. "Seriously, are you blind or something?"
Z took a slow sip of her coconut juice, the sugary liquid doing little to soothe her unease. The endless blue of the sea, the vibrant clamor of the Wielders enjoying their day—it all felt like a performance she couldn't join. She saw the beauty, yes, but also the sharp, undeniable truth of her own fractured existence.
"Look, we don’t have the same eyes, okay?" she murmured, her gaze fixed on the distant, silvery mountains. "You can’t just force me to see beauty where I see trash."
George’s round face contorted into a pout. "You’re kidding, right? Pasithea is your home. It’s where you’ve been born! You being like that just proves how ungrateful of a scum you are!"
Her grip tightened on the coconut. "For the record, George, we have no idea where I came from, so it’s rather hasty to conclude such a thing."
