About Another Voice - A Melancholy Girl

"It was then that she found her sweet, sweet freedom. It was always with her, but only found in doing the things that scared her the most." A dreamer without ambition, barista Clara Rivers longs for a job outside of The Bean Queen. Trapped between past experiences and the woman she hopes to become, Clara's childhood dream of adventure comes true after playing a long-forgotten game with a fistful of dirt and a ray of light. However, Clara will experience more than nostalgia when she's transported into a magical world that her child-self would have loved. Lonely and scared, Clara's arrival causes a stir as she looks and acts differently from others. Yet, amidst the confusion, there's a mark branded on her brow that everyone can see but her. Confronted with the hard truth of living in an unfamiliar realm full of strange creatures, temperamental mages, beautiful healers, and a brave, cheeky knight, Clara struggles to find her place in the enchanted world. Then, when the castle's ancient mage chants a cryptic prophecy, Clara will need to embody her imagined self as Ancora Castle looks to her to defeat the fabled Lectus. Torn between fear and bravery, Clara puts her trust in her companions as she's haunted by harrowing fantasies and hazy phantoms. Unable to picture herself victorious, Clara must battle the stories she tells herself and the dangers of an untamed world while the reality of something bigger looms closer.
