A bug. A blade. A battle for who you’re meant to be.
Faye’s a firefly.
A fencer.
A rule-follower.
She trains to defend her king’s way—no flair, no fanfare, no mistakes.
But when a fearless archer named Bea steps up and does things differently… something in Faye flickers.
Now she has a choice:
Keep doing what she’s told.
Or do the one thing she’s never been taught—
shine on her own terms.
This is a book about obedience, performance, and the itch to make your own kind of magic.
Not everyone will clap.
But some will finally see you—and you might finally see yourself.
