Some gifts break you long before they save you
She can control anyone with a word and a touch - but after one fatal mistake, she swore to never use her power again. Now, kidnapped into a secret society, staying silent might be deadlier than speaking.
They don't know who they've unlocked.
Rayanne keeps her life small to keep others safe. Burdened by relentless fatigue and sensory disturbances, she committed to structure over emotion, control over connection.
No friends. No touch. No mistakes.
But when a charismatic stranger kidnaps her, Rayanne is dragged into a secret society of people with extraordinary powers, hidden within a seemingly utopian English country estate.
The cracks show quickly. Secrets surface. The pressure to conform tightens, and the boundaries she relies on begin to fracture.
Soon, Rayanne is forced to confront the true cost of her power - and the consequences of keeping it buried.
Because if she refuses, they will drain everything she has.
But if she gives in, she will lose herself for good.
VOID is a quietly dark fantasy about a woman whose power overwhelms her senses - and the people who refuse to let her live unnoticed.

Dark academia - except this time, swap the campus for an English country estate and she's not learning for the pursuit of knowledge, but to survive.
Warning: if you go into this thirsty, you will be parched. The ultimate slow burn, unwanted soul bond love triangle that doesn't resolve until the end of the trilogy.
For readers who love the survival vs integrity tension of A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik, the secret society intrigue of The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake, the potential love triangle in Legendborn by Tracey Deonn with a snarky FMC haunted by her past mistakes like Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo.
