At Luce Veritas Academy, where talent meets prestige, a national writing competition promises more than just glory—it offers a voice to those who’ve long been unheard. Among the hopefuls is Jacob Dagasdas Bellini, a quiet achiever with a past marked by loss, survival, and silent promises.
For Jacob, writing is more than ink and paper—it’s the last thread tying him to his late mother’s dream. But as the contest begins, he finds himself caught between personal grief, fierce academic pressure, and the unexpected presence of Selena De Gracia, a mysterious girl who stirs something oddly familiar in him.
With each round, Jacob’s words echo louder—but so do the ghosts he’s tried to leave behind. And when tragedy knocks again, everything he’s built begins to tremble.
Some stories heal. Some haunt. And some… demand to be written, no matter the cost.
