Before the ruins.
Before survival became a choice.
Before love learned how much it could cost.
Where It Started traces the origin of Kyra and Sam’s story—back to the moments where trust was tentative, fear was constant, and connection felt like both a risk and a refuge. Thrown together by circumstance and danger, the two women navigate a world that offers little safety and even less certainty, learning how to rely on each other long before they understand what they’re building.
This is a story about the slow ignition of love under pressure. About guarded hearts, shared scars, and the fragile decisions that change everything long before anyone realizes it. Every glance, every choice, every act of staying becomes a foundation—one that will later be tested by loss, survival, and the pull between leaving and remaining.
Where It Started is an intimate, emotionally grounded novel about beginnings that don’t feel gentle, love that forms in the cracks, and the quiet moments that shape who we become long before the world tries to take it all away.
