Prologue

They say memories shape who we are.
But Skylane Gabriel isn't sure she wants hers back.

One by one, fragments return-some tender, some burning, all impossible to ignore.
The laughter of friends. The warmth of a hand in hers. A voice that once swore forever.
Each piece feels like truth. Each piece feels like betrayal.

As the line between past and present blurs, Skylane faces a choice: cling to the comfort of forgetting, or confront the shards of memory that could break her all over again.

Because sometimes the past doesn't just return.
It hunts you.
