"A daydreamer, a clueless prince, and a girl from a mountain of ashes. And oh--a dead man they have to hide. Things could not get worse, right? Right?" In a world where words are sacred, Nascha Yakine tells a story of magic and fantasy, deaths and wars, and they are all coming true, one harrowing tale at a time. ***** Nascha has been warned time and time again that the ancient language of Tomesh is sacred and should not be used in writing stories. She does it anyway. As a member of a family of scribes in the desert, Nascha has been working on the king's future tomb for years. And there, in one of the chambers, she secretly carves her highly fantastic tales using the sacred Tomera words. It was all fantasy until things begin to get a little alarming when the king suddenly dies exactly the same way in her tale. As her stories start to come true, Nascha begins to realize who--or what--she truly is. And with that comes enemies who want her for her gift, forcing her to leave the comforts of home to face an epic adventure caused by her own creations. However, she is not alone. She will travel with new friends: Laku, the prince and heir to the throne, and Tia, the mysterious girl from the dark mountains of Achnus. But working together may be a little complicated as they discover more of each other's mysteries, goals, and secret identities.

Small town girl Song Hyejin grew up with a pair of scissors in her hand, spending her high school days in her father's barber shop cutting crew cuts for young men who were about to enlist in the army; this was how she was intending to spend the rest of her life. When top star Ares Hwang walks into the shop one rainy day demanding that she give him a haircut even though it's past opening hours, her life gets thrown straight into a raging hurricane known as the world of showbiz. ======== Enter Kang Hyunwon, hairstylist to the celebrities, touted by all the country's fashion magazines as the golden hands that could catapult anyone, literally anyone, from obscurity to stardom. When his limelight gets stolen unceremoniously by the head of hair atop one Ares Hwang (whom he had callously rejected to style just days before), his ego takes a beating that he will never forget. When he finds out who it is who was responsible for his humiliation, he vows to show this clueless suburban girl what it truly means to be hair-raisingly good with a pair of scissors... ======== Cover adapted from the artwork by @ClarissaNorth

Daniel was just ten years old when he moved into Ronghei's household and became the son Ronghei never had. When Ronghei's only daughter Lily was born, she filled the house with her fiery cries and Daniel's heart with her smile that seemed to carry the Sun. She was the little storm that he loved. When tragedy hits the family, Daniel finds himself in the position that was always meant for him - a big brother to protect and care for Lily. And he would be there for her through thick and thin. Only that he hadn't expected her to grow up one day and enchant him heart and soul. It was in the way she laughed, the light in her soul, the way she'd come knocking on his door at midnight when nights are rough. But he can't love her. That was never the plan. And he does not have it in him to let her know. He would never let her know. He'd take it to his grave with him. But how far could he take loving her from afar, very deeply and truly for that matter... [2nd July 2022]
