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.

Damian Cole is a high-stakes stock analyst who finds himself in possession of an extraordinary device-a time machine. With visions of wealth beyond imagination, Damian sets off on a daring plan: travel back in time to bet on sports games and invest in future tech giants. The plan is simple, the rewards immense, and soon, his present-day bank account swells with unimaginable riches. But greed drives him deeper. Damian starts taking riskier jumps, plotting to buy into companies like Apple and Google before they even exist. He's on top of the world-until he lands himself in 1929, just days before the Great Crash. In the frenzy of Wall Street, his device malfunctions. Now, stranded without a way back to his own time, he finds himself swindled in a bad trade and accused of being a "wizard" from the future. As he scrambles to survive in pre-WWII America, Damian discovers he's not the only one trapped in the past. Sinister forces are at play, hunting those who tamper with time and ensuring they can never return. Each desperate move to regain his fortune only leads him further into a web of deception, danger, and a curse he cannot escape. Will Damian uncover the secret that binds him to the past, or will he become another lost soul in the annals of time? "The Time Gambler's Curse" is a riveting tale of ambition, betrayal, and the relentless pull of fate. Damian gambled with time-and now, time is gambling with him.
