The Girl They Never Saw

Moon Carter is born into a family that never truly wanted her. From the moment her birth coincides with her father’s business collapse, she is branded as a symbol of misfortune—a child blamed for a family’s downfall before she can even speak. While her brothers are loved, protected, and celebrated, Moon grows up in the shadows of her own home, unseen and unheard. Her mother, Margaret Carter, withdraws from her entirely, offering neither affection nor protection. Her father’s silence becomes another form of rejection. In a household full of voices and demands, Moon learns early to expect nothing. She is raised not by her parents, but by the family maid, Catherine, whose quiet kindness becomes Moon’s first lesson in love. The only blood relative who truly sees her is her grandfather, whose presence offers Moon brief moments of warmth in an otherwise cold childhood. At school, Moon’s intelligence and gentleness shine, but cruelty follows her there as well. When she experiences a humiliating public moment that exposes how deeply neglected she has been—even denied guidance through her own womanhood—Moon becomes a target of ridicule. The bullying she faces from classmates is worsened by the betrayal of her own brothers, who join in mocking her rather than defending her. Despite the neglect, Moon refuses to harden. Supported by loyal friends, Rachel and Jacob, she learns that family can exist outside of blood. But each act of cruelty at home pushes her closer to a silent resolve: one day, she will leave. One day, she will reclaim her name, her worth, and her voice. The Girl They Never Saw is a haunting coming-of-age story about abandonment, resilience, and the quiet strength of a girl who survives being invisible—until she learns to truly see herself.

Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night." Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman." --- Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and become celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities. Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her. Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…
