Cassi never feared the soul sucking vampires until they took her voice. Vampire victims are cast out of society and left only as snacks for more vampires. With no way to regain her voice, Grand Duchess Cassi turns to vampire Leith in a desperate gamble to save herself and the country from a hostile takeover. Bored with killing rogue vampires, Leith agrees to use her father's gifts to "puppet" Cassi and give her a voice to court four men for a month. This highly dangerous and illegal vampire magic might get them both killed if anyone discovers that Cassi is drained or Leith's vampire status. As Cassi and Leith fool and fall for two of the dashing suitors, those who know their secrets emerge from the shadows. Will they be able to pull off the ultimate deception, or will they both end up sucked dry by the humans and vampires around them?

A Boy Named Daniel is a sweeping historical drama set during the Napoleonic Wars, following fourteen-year-old Abigail Holt who escapes a life of poverty and danger by disguising herself as a boy and joining the Royal Navy under her dying brother's name - Daniel. What begins as survival turns into a life of adventure, loyalty, love, and transformation. As Daniel, she earns the respect of her crew and the trust of a principled young captain. But secrets don't stay buried forever. Spanning sea battles, royal courts, and quiet moments of courage, this is the story of one girl who became a legend not by pretending to be someone else - but by daring to become herself. "In a world ruled by men, she chose to fight like one - and love as herself." "The war made her a soldier. The sea made her free."

He thought he was just chasing a signal. He didn't know it was chasing him back. Something is waking in the dark-buried beneath ruined systems, flickering across corrupted memory logs, hidden in the static between thoughts. When Jem intercepts a strange transmission, he's pulled into a collapsing network of abandoned tech, fractured identities, and echoes that feel too personal to be coincidence. Alone and hunted, he descends into the remnants of a world that was never meant to be found. The deeper he goes, the more reality begins to twist-architecture that loops on itself, doors that open into memories he doesn't remember living, and voices that shouldn't be speaking. Whatever's waiting at the end isn't broken. It's waiting for him to remember. ARCHIVE-34 is a slow-burn, atmospheric journey through a ruined future-where memory is unstable, and the past is never truly gone.

In 2895, the world is barely holding together, thanks to apocalyptic disasters and scientists who took "What's the worst that could happen?" way too seriously. Meet Skyleen Winters, a girl stuck with a family legacy she never asked for... and a man who's really just a side character. Kay. The brooding, too-cool-for-this, "I-could-kill-you-with-a-paperclip" heir to her family's rival guild. She hates him. Follows him around anyway. Or wait-he hates her... but follows her around anyway. Honestly? Hard to tell. Now, Skyleen has to survive Kay's cryptic one-liners, brutal training, and the unsettling feeling that he either wants to kill her... or doesn't? We'll see. With dangerous science, family feuds, and one very inconvenient rivalry, Skyleen's biggest challenge isn't just surviving-it's figuring out who she really is before it's too late.
