[EDITING IN PROCESS.] In a kingdom wrapped in shadows and whispered secrets, where loyalty is sold for gold and love is considered a dangerous weakness, some hearts are born not to shine... but to endure. In a palace where beauty is judged by skin and worth is decided by blood, silence becomes survival. Vidya Gupta was never meant to belong there. Eighteen years old, dark-skinned, quiet, and invisible to the world, she was the daughter of a royal advisor who dreamed not of crowns, but of freedom, knowledge, and a life beyond the palace walls. But fate dragged her into the palace as a backup bride. A replacement, a shadow, a girl meant to be forgotten. Books became her only escape. Freedom, her only dream. Disguised as a maid, she walked through corridors never meant for her footsteps. And that was when he saw her. Rudra Vikrampuri, the crown prince. Twenty-one years old. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. Known across kingdoms as the Demon of War. A prince who ruled battlefields with iron hands and hearts with silence. A warrior who trusted no one. A man who believed love was weakness. To him, she was just a servant. Until she wasn't. Between stolen glances and harsh words in gilded halls, a forbidden bond began to bloom, a love the palace never wanted, a connection power could never allow. But in a kingdom where thrones are hunted, secrets are lethal and betrayal hides behind every smile, love is not a blessing. It is a threat. When enemies rise and conspiracies unfold, Will Rudra choose the crown...or the girl the palace tried to erase? Will Vidya survive loving a prince, who was never taught how to love? Will two hearts survive the shadows of the throne? Or will love itself become the greatest danger of all? ✦ Royalty ✦ Secrets ✦ Dark Romance ✦ Forbidden Love ✦ Slow Burn ✦ Hate to Love ✦ Betrayal ✦ Intrigue For hearts that dare to fall in love with darkness. 🌹 This story is for you.

[EDITING IN PROCESS] Anna has always existed quietly. In the back row of the classroom. Behind her glasses. Between attendance sheets and exam ranks. She is the class monitor everyone depends on, but no one truly sees. A shy high school girl with a soft heart and a mind full of unspoken words, Anna's world is made of silence, routine, and emotions she never dares to voice. Except when it comes to Kaith. Kaith is everything Anna is not-warm, noticeable, effortlessly present. He laughs easily, lives freely, and moves through life unaware of the quiet girl who memorizes his habits, notices his moods, and carries his presence like a secret she can never share. To Kaith, Anna is just another name in the class register. To Anna, Kaith is every rainy afternoon, every unsent confession, every hope hidden behind a polite smile. Her days are filled with small moments that mean everything to her and nothing to him-shared classrooms, accidental glances, unreturned feelings, and a love that exists only because she allows it to. But silence never stays quiet forever.

A messy apartment. A glowing tablet. Jane sketches characters she doesn't quite believe in, until her bathroom floods for no reason. Water on the floor. Everywhere. "And it's coming from my bathroom??" Then, "WTF... why is there a man in my house?" A tall stranger stands there. Wet hair. Sea-colored eyes. Too handsome to be real. Completely lost. "Lucas...?" he whispers and collapses. Jane is 27, a web cartoonist with a lazy routine, a cute personality, and a mind sharper than she lets on. Her life revolves around deadlines, doodles, and doing the bare minimum - until a mysterious stranger crash into her world. His name is Zael. He isn't human. And he was never meant to be here. Zael is a merman, new to land, kind to a fault, bound by one rule above all else. "Don't get involved with humans." He thinks he can follow it. Until he meets Jane. But while Jane is busy hiding a merman in her apartment, someone else is watching. "They said I imagined it," a voice says from the shadows. "Now I'll make the world believe." Dr. Berner, a scientist obsessed with proving the existence of mystical creatures-has spent his life hunting what no one else believed in. And now, he has proof. Behind glass. In an aquarium.

Between dodging mad scientists, uncovering secrets of the ocean, and falling for someone she was never supposed to meet, Jane is pulled into a world far deeper than fiction. "Are you ready for this?" Zael asks. "I am never," Jane replies. "But let's get your brother back." Because some secrets were never meant to surface. But what happens when they do? And what will it cost to love someone who belongs to the sea?
