Beloved Dawn
Author: LyssaFae
Artist: LyssaFae
Welcome to Gildan. A place where everyone is the same. Pale skin, pale hair, and even paler eyes. Beyond the kingdom walls lies an ancient forest, and everyone in Gildan knows never to cross into it. It has been that way for centuries. Until a princess is born with brown skin and pointed ears. Shani is different from the moment she enters the world, but to her mother, she is nothing short of beloved. Sheltered within the palace walls, Shani grows up surrounded by family, stories, and warnings of the dangerous world beyond them. But safety is a fragile thing. As tragedy reshapes her childhood and the people around her begin deciding what is best for her, Shani finds herself caught between the girl she is, the princess she is expected to become, and a heritage she knows almost nothing about. Because beyond Gildan's walls, the forest is waiting. And perhaps the things Shani has been taught to fear aren't the things she should fear at all.
