Overview

In The Things We Were Never Meant to Carry, Damian Sanchez takes readers on a gripping journey through the extraordinary and the deeply human. This realistic fantasy novel follows a teenager whose life is upended when latent magical abilities awaken in moments of intense emotion. At first, these powers seem like a gift-an escape from ordinary life, a way to fix problems, even save loved ones. But the thrill of control comes at a cost. As the magic grows stronger, so do the stakes. Friendships are tested, family bonds strained, and secrets threaten to unravel everything. The protagonist grapples with guilt, loss, and temptation, learning the hard way that power without responsibility is dangerous. Along the way, they meet others with similar gifts, face moral dilemmas, and confront an antagonist whose philosophy challenges everything they believe about strength, choice, and sacrifice. Through struggle, heartbreak, and moments of quiet triumph, this novel explores themes of accountability, emotional resilience, and the cost of power. It's a story about learning to carry what life demands, redefining strength, and finding hope without perfection. Perfect for teens and young adults, this novel blends suspense, magic, and emotional depth into a story that lingers long after the last page.
