Life A leaf

SaiManiLekaz
Life: A Leaf is a tender coming-of-age novella that follows Aarohi, a quiet, introspective 16-year-old girl growing up in the serene hill town of Daryal. As she navigates the challenges of adolescence, friendship, loss, and self-discovery, Aarohi finds an unexpected mirror in a single peepal leaf outside her window. From the nervous beginnings of high school to the joy of a newfound friendship with the bold and artistic Mira, Aarohi slowly begins to bloom. But when Mira suddenly moves away, Aarohi is forced to face the storm of change alone. Through the seasons — of life and of nature — she learns to find strength in silence, voice in art, and meaning in transformation. Told through lyrical prose and metaphoric reflection, Life: A Leaf delicately portrays how even the smallest parts of nature can help us understand our place in the world. Aarohi’s journey is not just about growing up — it’s about becoming.

The Mirrorbound

In a world where reality blurs between magic and modernity, one broken mirror awakens a forgotten destiny. Liam Gray is just an ordinary young man — lonely, directionless, stuck in a mundane life where success feels like a distant dream. But everything changes when a mysterious mirror in his room cracks open… not to shatter, but to reveal another world. From that mirror steps Aeris Virelle, a fierce and secretive warrior from a magical realm on the brink of collapse. She seeks the fragments of an ancient spellbook — the Liminal Codex — a key that can restore balance… or destroy everything. As Liam is unwillingly dragged into her quest, he learns that he isn’t just a bystander. He is bound by blood, power, and fate to the shattered past of both worlds. Haunted by visions and hunted by corrupted forces, Liam joins a band of unlikely allies: Kael, a blunt but noble wind-based warrior with a soft spot for dumb jokes, Nyra, a spirited summoner whose tiny summons love stealing food and causing chaos — but whose powers are growing every day. Together, they must traverse deadly landscapes, fight cursed guardians, uncover ancient truths, and learn to trust one another. But Aeris is hiding a truth of her own — reporting to a heroine who may not be what she seems. And lurking behind every turn is a dark force, manipulating hearts and histories alike: the shadowy being that destroyed Elira’s people and tore open the world long ago. As realms collide and fragments fall into place, Liam must decide: is he a hero destined to save both worlds… or a sacrifice meant to seal them?
