The Journey of Me and My Seven Sisters

A childhood promise, etched in the naive hearts of eight orphans, is about to be tested by time, tragedy, and the treacherous tides of fate. Emrys Lund, a young man haunted by the embers of a past he thought he'd left behind, returns to Jadeborough after fifteen long years, seeking solace and perhaps, a reunion with the seven sisters who vowed to be his brides. His heart aches with memories of Sunshine Children’s Home, a haven shattered by a devastating fire that scattered its inhabitants like leaves in the wind. But Emrys is no longer the innocent boy who once roamed those halls. Years spent as an apprentice to an elderly friar have honed his skills and sharpened his senses. Five grueling years in the war zone have hardened him, forging a warrior from the ashes of his former self. He returns to a Jadeborough transformed, a city now under the watchful eye of the Sky Devourer, an organization that promises stability but whispers of control. Sunshine Children’s Home stands as a ghostly echo of his past. The new director greets him with polite indifference, informing him that the benevolent Mr. Olman, the heart and soul of their childhood, retired long ago. A visit to the aged Mr. Olman reveals a man burdened by time, his memories fading like old photographs. But the tranquility is shattered by the arrival of Gavin Wahl, Mr. Olman's adopted son, a volatile figure consumed by greed and suspicion. Emrys recognizes Gavin as the bully who once tormented him and his sisters. When Gavin accuses Mr. Olman of hiding money, Emrys's simmering anger erupts. He lashes out, striking Gavin for his ingratitude and disrespect. But this act of defiance is more than just a defense of an old friend; it's a declaration, a signal that Emrys is back, and he will not stand idly by as the remnants of his past are desecrated. This **romance** story quickly turns into a **romantic** quest. As Emrys navigates the treacherous currents of Jadeborough, now twisted by the looming presence of the Sky Devourer, he must confront not only his own demons but also the secrets that lie buried within the ashes of Sunshine Children’s Home. But can Emrys find his sisters and rekindle the flames of a childhood promise, or will the darkness that has engulfed Jadeborough extinguish the last embers of hope? And what is the true nature of the Sky Devourer, and what do they want with Emrys?
