The Peridot

A young woman returns to her quiet hometown, heartbroken by the sudden loss of her father, the man she always thought of as her anchor and guide. As she navigates the grieving process and sifts through her father’s belongings, she stumbles upon a cryptic clue—an artifact that doesn’t belong, paired with whispers of a family secret no one ever dared to share. What begins as a moment of curiosity spirals into a relentless quest for answers.

With her adventurous spirit awakened and a growing sense that her father’s death may be tied to these hidden truths, she digs deeper, uncovering layers of betrayal, sacrifice, and a past she never imagined. Each revelation forces her to confront not only the lies her family has told but also the lies she’s told herself about who she is and where she comes from.

As she pieces together the fragments of her family's hidden history, she faces mounting dangers and challenges that push her courage to the limit. Old relationships are tested, unexpected allies emerge, and a buried legacy begins to come alive, threatening to change everything she thought she knew. In the end, her journey isn’t just about uncovering the truth—it’s about finding herself and deciding who she wants to be in the face of a life she never saw coming.
