A defensive teen with a fractured sense of identity moves to a mysterious town, only to be caught between his sister's catastrophic relationship and his own growing bond with a rival pack member-one that could ignite something far more dangerous than his temper.

Lake doesn't like parties, he especially doesn't like getting drunk by drinking the alcoholic punch on accident, and he really doesn't enjoy following his friends to go trick or treating and somehow finding himself lost and alone in a graveyard. There is a tall figure sitting calmly on a large gravestone, so dark he appears as a silhouette, his tapered cloak moving in the wind as though suspended in water. Lake walks up to him, made of curiosity, bravery and booze. The tall man stands to tower over him, in his left hand a scythe is raised and the blade glints in the moonlight, darkness reaching out from him like a thick fog. Cold red eyes pin Lake down. "Who disturbs this halfway realm of death? Who dares to approach the harbinger..." But the little human in front of him seems unafraid. His large blue eyes squint as he reaches through the black fog and presses his hand on his chest. "Wow, that's really cool, how do you do that?"

A Companion Novella to Breaking the Ice When the lights dim and the world isn't watching, the hardest battles are often the quietest. Connor Bedard has spent his life focused on the game - rising through the ranks with talent, grit, and silence. But when teammate Tyson steps into his orbit, with sharp wit and unexpected warmth, something begins to shift. What starts as tension in the locker room turns into late-night texts, shared secrets, and a pull Connor can't ignore. Told in alternating perspectives, Behind the Glass follows two young hockey players as they navigate the pressures of identity, the weight of expectations, and the quiet, burning truth of first love. As Jack Hughes begins to open a path toward visibility in the league, Connor and Tyson are left to face their own fears, forge their own trust, and decide whether being seen is worth the risk. Heartfelt, slow-burning, and honest, Behind the Glass is about the moments between games, behind closed doors, and inside hearts that dare to love - even when the world isn't ready.

Jack Hughes is one of the NHL's brightest stars - fast, fearless, and adored by millions. But behind the highlight reels and locker room smiles, he's hiding a truth he's never dared to speak aloud. Until now. When a quiet connection with a stranger named Leo begins to crack open the armor Jack's built his whole life, he's forced to confront what scares him most: not the game, not the media, but himself. As his world expands beyond the rink, so do the risks - to his career, his team, and the carefully guarded life he's built. Told through the perspectives of Jack, his brother Quinn, and those who love him most, Breaking the Ice is a story about fear, courage, and the people who show up when the lights go out. It's about being the first - and making sure you're not the last. For fans of character-driven romance, slow-burn tension, and stories that hit as hard as a slapshot to the chest, Breaking the Ice is a raw, beautiful celebration of what happens when you stop skating away from the truth - and start chasing it.

"I wish I could take your pain as my own and alleviate you from such sorrow," Jasper says softly, fingers twitching with the urge to touch the boy that stands across from him. "You don't deserve it." "You don't know what I deserve, Jasper Hale," Ryung takes a step back before a hand can find his face, "You should know better than others that people like us deserve to suffer even in death."
