A girl with hidden powers. A trapped prince. War on the horizon. Seventeen-year-old Haya just wanted to help out on her family farm and maybe someday marry her best friend and secret crush. If not for the war raging between the nations of Shamar and Golan, it could have been a possibility. But when her family heads to war, she has to grow up fast and manage the farm herself. That’s not the only headache she has. There’s this mysterious cat that’s been hanging around the farm lately. And then there are the nightmares. In them she’s hunted by horrible monsters of black smoke.

A Shadow’s Lament is a raw and haunting collection of poetry that traces the journey through grief, abandonment, betrayal, and survival. Written for those who have loved and lost, for the ones who carry their pain quietly, and for anyone searching for meaning through the wreckage, these poems offer a voice to the unheard, a light in the shadows.
