AZURI

Azuri lives a quiet, invisible life in California, attending an elite high school on scholarship. She’s smart, athletic, and beautiful — but her silvery hair and icy blue eyes make her stand out, drawing unwanted attention from jealous classmates.She often escapes to the woods behind the school, where the world feels calmer… but lately, she’s been hearing strange howls and feeling like she’s being watched. On the eve of her birthday, after enduring a humiliating round of bullying, she leaves early. That’s when a massive silver wolf emerges from the shadows, calling her by name.The wolf, Nimora, is not just a beast — she is Azuri’s other half. Her appearance unlocks a flood of suppressed memories: a towering castle, her mother’s laughter, the smell of burning wood, and the night she was carried away by her guard, Metra, as screams filled the halls.
