While I might not know many words yet, I know enough that I can read the title of this book. “The Story of Carnelia the Great,” I mumble to myself. Opening the book to the first page I see the name “Primus” scrawled in an uneven hand on the cover. So this was his as a child. I smile, thinking of what a little monster he must have been like as I turn to the title page. “CARNELIA” is hand-lettered in bold calligraphy. Underneath, is the image of a gold and red dragon, her body curled in the sky, replacing the sun.

I scanned the shelves, my eyes tracing the titles and covers in search of the perfect book to momentarily distract me from the reality of my mother's illness. A vibrant book cover caught my attention, a beautiful couple locked in a passionate embrace against a backdrop of rolling hills and a setting sun. "Love's Everlasting Promise" was emblazoned across the top in elegant script. I knew, in that moment, that this was the book that would temporarily fill the void in my heart.

was written in elegant gold letters. On the cover, a woman in a flowing white dress sat on a tree branch, her head tilted back as she gazed up at the sky. There was something about her expression—peaceful, lost in thought—that drew me in. I smiled softly, running my hand over the cover again. It was silly, but just holding the book made me feel a little lighter, like I’d found a small piece of beauty on an otherwise ordinary day. I probably looked ridiculous sitting there, staring at it like it was some kind of treasure.

"Open it." ‎ ‎I hesitated. ‎ ‎"I hope it suits you," Eve said, still smiling. ‎ ‎Slowly, I peeled back the wrapping paper. ‎ ‎The bright colors hit me first. Then the sharp smell of cheap ink. ‎ ‎My stomach dropped when I saw the title printed across the cover. ‎ ‎How to Turn a Straight Man into a Gay Guy. ‎For a second, everything went quiet. You could have heard a pin drop. Even I seemed to stop breathing.

It was not all, the cover was the eyes of werewolves. My brows furrowed in keen interest as well as something I can't name settling within me. Without thinking further, my hand took out the book and the front cover showed the face of werewolves with its eyes glowing in a golden hue. I brushed my fingers on the cover, mesmerized by the image. It was delicately printed and made.

Arya We only have a week left of being at the cabin before we need to go back to our real lives. My book is nearly done! Which is amazing! It usually takes me longer to write, but I think this one was easier because of the experiences I’ve had this summer.

It hit my shoulder before dropping to the floor. I barely felt the pain. I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck. “Perfect,” I muttered. “Just what I needed.” I almost ignored it. But something about that book caught my eye. It wasn’t like the others. The cover was deep red—so dark it looked almost like dried blood in the dim light. The edges were lined with gold that had faded with age. I frowned and bent down to pick it up. It felt heavier than it looked. When I turned it over, I noticed something strange.

A beat later, Brandon’s voice snapped back clear. “Dude, check your messages. Just sent you a pic. You’re gonna thank me.” I didn’t want to thank him. But the screen blinked with a new message. A photo. I opened it. The place was a boil of light—neon, sweat, bodies hovered in groups. And there, center frame… Summer. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I flinched as I zoomed in. A skimpy black dress hugged her like it had been poured on. Thin straps bit into her shoulders, neckline plunging so low it left almost nothing to the imagination. The hem flirted with mid-thigh, collarbone glowing under the light, a chain glinting at her throat.

And that’s when we knew. This wasn’t just a personal journal. It was the foundation for something bigger. A book. A collection. A voice finally unhidden. Skye – POV We titled it Whispers Before the Light. Marla and I worked on it for months. River edited. James coordinated the rollout. Carrie designed the cover—soft gray with golden constellations, a nod to the “star” metaphor Calla had used for Marla. The day it went to print, we held a quiet celebration at the schoolhouse.
