This is a story I began toward the beginning of quarantine last year. It is a YA fantasy novel told from the 1st-person perspectives of four characters.

In order of first appearance:

Izara: A village girl with chronic pain who has the ability to heal others

Amira: A girl who lives in the palace who enjoys sneaking out at night to protect the villagers

Kadiri: A boy who wishes to be a member of the King's Guard

Kalil: Amira's older brother who is hated by the king (for some mysterious reason XD)

It takes place in Castesia, a world with six kingdoms: Alcala, Athol, Elyria, Ephrata, Havelock, and Ocona

Izara, Amira, Kadiri, and Kalil all live in Elyria.

TW: this story includes chronic pain (obviously), childhood abuse, brief mentions of assault, violence (not gore), fantasy illnesses that mimic mental illness (I can't use the term c-PTSD in a fantasy novel), and torture
