Dylane Fokou Tiam

In a village haunted by superstitions, a child is born at the exact moment her grandmother takes her last breath. Considered a witch from her first cry, she grows up facing violent rejection: locked in closets, accused of causing droughts and fires, betrayed by those she loves. Her only ally? A mysterious gift that allows her to see what others hide-lies, ghosts, and whispering shadows.  Guided by Maguy, an enigmatic artist with sparkling scars, she discovers that her wounds can become works of art.
But to survive, she will have to face the demons of her past: a father haunted by guilt, a witch jealous of her power, and the village that dreams of seeing her burn.  From forests populated by ancestral creatures to secret workshops where painting mingles with magic, this novel explores the boundary between madness and grace. Through fire rituals, broken mirrors, and living canvases, the heroine will transform her curse into a legacy...
and prove that the deepest scars can illuminate the night.
