THE NOVEL
A Heart's Memory Trough Time
What if your dreams were not illusions, but memories of another life?
Sofia wakes in a world stitched from faded tapestries, the glimmer of chandeliers, and the breath of 1915.
Each night draws her deeper into an Ottoman palace where echoes of love, war, and haunting memories blur the line between dreams and reality.
But was it ever just a dream? Or could these visions be fragments of another life—one she has forgotten, yet her heart still remembers? As shadows lengthen and truth hides behind poetry, Sofia finds herself questioning everything: her past, her identity, even the nature of time itself.
Ghosts stir. Memories fracture. And survival may depend not on reason, but on the fragile gravity of love.
An Orbitless Moon is a lyrical blend of historical mystery, metaphysical romance, and poetic reflection—a haunting meditation on memory, fate, and the quiet bonds that endure across lifetimes.
