Wraithbound: Echoes of Artonia

By H L Hopkins

Something isn't right.

Daisy Hartridge is different. Time slips. The brain-squirrels in her head hold on to all the wrong details. The sense that she doesn't quite belong follows her everywhere. It's something she's learned to live with.

Until it stops being just a feeling.

When Daisy is pulled into a parallel world, being different takes on a new meaning. In Artonia, emotions don't stay hidden. They take form. They move. They have power.

And they don't always stay under control.

What begins as confusion quickly becomes something more dangerous. The more Daisy feels, the more her new wraiths respond. Fear, anger, uncertainty-each one carries weight. Each one has consequence.

Now, losing control doesn't just affect her. It could threaten everything.

On top of trying to navigate shifting cities and age-old mysteries, Daisy is forced to confront a possibility she can't ignore. The power she's experiencing isn't separate from who she is. It's part of her. And if she can't master it, she risks losing it.

Wraithbound: Echoes of Artonia explores what happens when internal conflict becomes external reality.

Identity, control, and the quiet realisation that what you feel isn't always meant to be contained. Wrapped in a fast-paced fantasy.

For readers drawn to YA fantasy that prioritises character, emotional depth, and consequence over spectacle, this is a narrative that unfolds from the inside out.

Because in this world, what you feel doesn't stay hidden.

It becomes something real.
