HALLOW BE THY PAINWritten by Taye MercyWhat happens when love becomes a question, memories become unreliable, and the people you trust begin to feel like strangers?Riel never imagined that an ordinary connection could change the way she understood love, trust, and the people around her. When she meets Zayn, a boy carrying battles he rarely speaks about, she offers him something simple: kindness. Slowly, that kindness becomes a bond neither of them can easily explain.But every relationship has a story people see, and another they never tell.Thomas holds a place in their lives that is far more complicated than it first appears. Beneath familiar conversations and seemingly innocent moments lie unanswered questions, hidden truths, and choices whose consequences may be impossible to escape.Told through multiple perspectives, Hallow Be Thy Pain invites readers into a world where everyone has a version of the truth, but not every version tells the whole story.As affection turns into uncertainty and trust begins to fracture, readers must decide whom to believe, whom to forgive, and whether understanding someone’s pain is enough to excuse the hurt they cause.Because sometimes, the person you defend is the person you eventually question.And sometimes, the person you blame is the one whose story you never truly understood.In a world where everyone carries a secret, whose pain will you believe?
