"You must be the fastest. The strongest. The best." Every choice Arabelle of Ashville makes is a desperate attempt to keep her dying sister, Mireya, alive. When she's accepted into the brutal Emberhold Academy, she believes it's her chance to save Mireya- with the help of her Unbonded dragon. But the Academy is no sanctuary. Secrets simmer beneath polished walls, betrayals lurk in the shadows and death stalks the corridors.

Gina was living a normal, if not particularly great life. That is until the night she finished reading the webtoon "Celestia's Fall into the Duke's Trap." As she is about to get back into her normal routine some turn of events leads her to die. Or so she thought. When she opens her eyes, Gina finds herself inside the very world of the comic she just completed reincarnated as a side character, the personal maid of the beautiful heroine, Celestia. At first, she's relieved. She's not the lead. She's not the villain. And most importantly, she's far from the evil Duke's obsession... But fate has other plans. And this time, the villain's eyes aren't on Celestia, they're on her.

She was born to be cherished. He was born to command. And neither of them was given a choice. Veronica Laure Romano is the treasured light of one of the most powerful families in the elite world-a young woman raised in warmth, grace, and unwavering kindness. Protected and adored, she has always believed that compassion is strength, even in a world ruled by wealth and influence. Alexander Jace Deluca knows no such softness. As the ruthless heir to the Deluca dynasty, he has been forged in brutality, taught that mercy is weakness and control is survival. His name alone inspires fear, his future already written in blood, loyalty, and power. For generations, the Romanos and the Delucas have stood side by side, their alliance making them untouchable. But when that alliance demands a final, unbreakable seal, a single decree changes everything. An arranged marriage. Bound by obligation rather than desire, Veronica is given to the very darkness her family feared, while Alexander is shackled to a woman whose light threatens everything he has been taught to despise. She sees the man beneath the cold cruelty. He sees only a fragile innocence he never wanted-and cannot afford to protect. In a marriage forged by power and sealed by duty, light and darkness are forced to coexist beneath the same roof. But when tenderness meets brutality, when innocence stands unbroken in the face of cruelty, the question becomes inevitable: Will the darkness consume the light... or will it learn to kneel before it?

Matteo Cruz has spent his life learning how to survive the city-quiet, controlled, untouchable. Nights in Quezon City are his domain: the rain-soaked streets, the neon lights, the hum of life that never sleeps. He doesn't start fights, but he knows how to end them. He doesn't get attached, and he doesn't let anyone close... until Eli Ramos shows up. Eli, twenty-one, half-American, half-Filipino, and a product of reckless freedom, is sent to the Philippines after one too many "mistakes" in California.

Sent to live with his father and study business management, Eli is a stranger in his own bloodline, caught between two cultures, two families, and a past that refuses to let him go.

Friendship, loyalty, and survival blur as nights in the city grow darker, and the streets themselves seem to test them. Every corner hides a threat, every shadow conceals a secret, and the people around them-friends, family, rivals-push them closer to the edge. But amid the chaos, something fragile begins to grow. The kind of bond forged in shared struggles, in storms and quiet moments alike, in laughter that cuts through fear and silences that speak louder than words. Matteo and Eli learn that love isn't about perfection. It's about choice. It's about standing by someone even when the city wants to tear you apart.
