A Composition of Scars
Before Draven was the feared captain over one of Bathara's revered aggregates, he was simply a teenager learning how to better his magic, better his combat, and better himself. With his brothers by his side, Draven, Finlay, and Kiran battle against a world that has carved out their identities with ruthless blades—despite the wrath Tynan Dalmar brings down on Draven each time he rebels. But after a particularly cruel interaction where the thin chords holding his family together officially snap, his mother, Lealla Dalmar, whisks Draven away in the middle of the night to put distance between them and his savage father.


So, it is in the unsuspecting city of Príth—where colors dance and streets thrum with a living heartbeat—that Draven's world expands far broader than he could ever imagine. And as he watches his mother's smile return while confronting his deepest fears, Draven believes he has finally found his place in the world. Has discovered the true warmth of a family at last.


Until his father shatters that illusion into a million, serrated pieces.


A Composition of Scars is a novella in the Cadence of the Fallen series that tells the tale of how Draven received his deepest scars. The ones that always remain, alive and bleeding beneath his skin. It should be read after A Requiem for Fallen Stars.

About the Author

Hazel is simply a lover of words and stories, overflowing with made-up worlds, scenarios, and characters. Ever since she was just a small girl, climbing out of her bedroom window to read on the roof under the stars with her trusted book light in hand (sorry, Mom), she has been enchanted by stories and the art of storytelling.

Hazel lives in Texas with her equally nerdy fiancé, her fluffy dog-child (who's named after a character from the novel that first truly revealed the beauty in crafting words to her), and the two sweetest cats a pet mom could hope for. Aside from writing, she enjoys playing and coaching sports, watching anime, spending time with her family, and discussing books with her bookish besties.
