Harvest Falls

The land of sunlit orchards, waterfalls, treehouses and  markets rich with fruit, spice, and song.

People live for the moment as if nothing could ever change.

Laughter carries through the canopy.

Hanging bridges sway above feasts that seem endless.

This is paradise.

​

But Leona senses danger drawing closer.

​

​In a cave long concealed by her family, she discovers what the regime tried to erase.

Shelves of forbidden books.

Maps of sealed provinces.

Histories that refuse to stay buried.​

 

In the dark market, Lady V watches her carefully,

 then presses a contraband knife into her hand. 

The blade hums with mysterious power.

Leona’s instincts answer.​

Stormy sensations surge through Leona, fierce and unfamiliar,

as if something inside her has been waiting to wake.

Harvest Falls still laughs and sings.

But beneath its roots, rebellion has found its spark.
