Delirium

Kalpernia doesn't remember how she got here. She only knows she has to get home. Every time she closes her eyes, she's somewhere else. Her home is a place she can't quite picture. Her brother, someone she can't quite hold onto. Her family, scattered across memories that keep rearranging themselves the moment she looks away. Every path forward leads somewhere new: a swamp that shouldn't exist, a forest that remembers her better than she remembers it, a world of gold rivers and burning skies that calls her back. The closer Kalpernia gets to her family, the less this feels like a rescue. Every answer splits into another question. Every memory hides another one underneath it. And the thing she's been chasing across worlds and years might be wearing her own face. Delirium is a haunting, slow-burn descent into memory, identity, and the lies we tell ourselves to survive. Perfect for readers who like their fantasies eerie, their family secrets buried deep, and their endings unsettling.
