But Nyx Faulkwyn was never meant to be small.

In the debut of her powerful memoir series, The Light They Tried to Extinguish, Nyx invites readers into the darkest rooms of her soul-rooms filled with betrayal, abuse, abandonment, and the haunting echoes of family secrets. Through trauma, magic, and raw truth, she discovers that her light was never truly lost-only buried beneath the shadows of others' lies.

This is more than a story of survival. It is a reckoning. A rising. A spell woven into words for every woman who was told she was too much, or not enough. With courage, ancestral magic, and unflinching truth, Nyx takes back what was stolen and lights the way for others to do the same.

Your survival is sacred. Your light is holy. This is your call to rise.
