In the whispering village of Valley of the Breeze, where forgotten dreams are traded in a secret market, lives Lama, a blind girl with a wondrous gift:
Every leaf she writes on, at her touch, turns into a living bird.

But Lama never writes. Every word she utters robs her of a piece of her memory, and she fears losing the voices, faces, and fragments of love that connect her to a world she cannot see.

On a stormy night, a mysterious man with sparkling eyes gives her a gift:
A white dragon-skin parchment, a liquid gold pen, and a haunting whisper—

"The only things that don't emanate... are those we dare not write."

What follows is a poetic journey between vision and loss, between memory and identity, as Lama makes the painful decision to write—regaining her sight for a moment while slowly unraveling all she loves. But when she finally resorts to writing her name, she is confronted with a long-buried secret: the return of her shadow self, a reflection of the truth she has tried to forget.

As Lama yearns for the light and fears the darkness, she must choose not only what to remember but also what to let go.

"The Last Leaf" is a poetic fantasy novel rich in symbolic beauty and emotional resonance—a tale about the price of creativity, the fragility of memory, and the power of choosing not to write.
