In the mystical kingdom of Omala, where magic is rare and fate is woven into the fabric of time, Nyssa, a common village girl, harbors a secret she does not fully understand—visions of the future. Born into a simple life in Elden Hollow, she has spent years suppressing the eerie glimpses of things yet to come, fearing what they might mean. But when a royal proclamation announces an arranged marriage that will shape the kingdom’s future, Nyssa’s visions grow more intense, hinting at a destiny she cannot escape.

Unbeknownst to her, she is the last living descendant of a lost royal bloodline, hidden away for generations to protect her from those who would exploit or destroy her. Her rare gift is tied to a forbidden power, one that many seek to control—including forces within the palace that have long conspired in the shadows.

As fate draws her toward the royal court, Nyssa finds herself entangled with Prince Caelan, heir to the throne and bound by duty to a political union he does not desire. Though their connection is unexpected, an unbreakable bond forms between them—one that defies reason and stirs whispers of a soulmate-like magic. But love is not so easily claimed when destiny demands sacrifice.

With enemies lurking in the dark and the weight of an ancient prophecy pressing upon her, Nyssa must navigate a treacherous path of power, deception, and self-discovery. As she uncovers the truth about her lineage and the forces seeking to control her gift, she must decide: Will she embrace the destiny foretold in her visions, even if it means risking everything—including her heart?

A sweeping tale of love, sacrifice, and hidden power, The Girl with Visions is a story of a young woman rising from obscurity to claim her place in a world that fears and desires her in equal measure.

THE GIRL WITH VISIONS

The journey to the Temple of Fate was long and silent.

Nyssa rode beside Prince Caelan, the rhythmic clatter of hooves against stone filling the space between them. The tension was thick—not from hostility, but from the weight of what awaited them.

The temple was more than just an ancient sacred site. It was where soul bonds were tested, where the gods themselves decided whether two people were truly destined for each other. If the priests declared their bond weak or unnatural, their engagement could be challenged.

Nyssa had spent her life fighting battles she never chose. But this? This was different.

This wasn't just about proving herself.

The Temple of Fate was carved into the side of a mountain, its marble pillars stretching toward the sky. Ancient symbols of destiny were etched into every surface, glowing faintly under the temple's sacred energy.

As Nyssa stepped inside, a wave of power rolled over her. The air hummed, thick with something unseen—something watching.

Caelan's shoulders tensed beside her. She knew he felt it too.

A hooded priest approached, his robes flowing like mist. "Prince Caelan. Lady Nyssa. The gods are waiting."

They were led to a vast chamber where a golden pool sat at the center, its waters eerily still. The priests stood in a circle, chanting softly.

"Step forward," the High Priest commanded.

Nyssa and Caelan approached the pool, standing opposite each other. The priest raised his staff. "Place your hands in the water."

Nyssa hesitated, glancing at Caelan. His expression was unreadable, but after a moment, he reached forward.

The instant their hands touched the water, a blinding light erupted from the pool.

Nyssa gasped as visions flooded her mind—

A battlefield, with Caelan standing over a fallen enemy, blood staining his blade.

A throne, with Nyssa seated beside him, a crown upon her head.

A shadowed figure, watching from the darkness, waiting to strike.

The priests murmured amongst themselves before the High Priest turned to them. His expression was grim.

"Your souls are bound," he declared. "But your path is not without darkness."

Nyssa's pulse pounded. What did that mean?

Caelan's jaw tightened. "Explain."

The priest hesitated, then spoke carefully. "A bond as strong as yours is rare. But it is also… dangerous."

Caelan exhaled sharply. "Then the engagement stands?"

The priest nodded. "It does. But beware… fate does not bind without cost."

That night, as Nyssa prepared to sleep in her chamber at the temple, she sensed it again—the feeling of being watched.

She spun around, but the corridor was empty.

Her visions were only the beginning.

And someone, somewhere, knew what she could do.
