She was never meant to survive. Once, Shani laughed easily. She spoke freely, unafraid of the world around her. But within the palace walls of Gildan, something changed. Silence became safety. Obedience became survival. And the girl she once was became someone quieter... smaller... easier to control. When her world fractures, she is forced beyond the only life she has ever known, into a forest her people call Silva Mortis. The Forest of Death. But the forest does not kill.It remembers. As the past she escaped refuses to loosen its grip, Shani must decide whether survival is enough... or if she can become something more again. Beloved Dawn is a dark fantasy about trauma, healing, and the fragile, slow shaping of a self that survives. New chapters every Wednesday & Saturday! Official cross-post from Wattpad
