How does one choose between Duty and Love? Princess Juliette Stormspire, the glittering "diamond of the season," has always done what is expected of her. Groomed to be the perfect royal, her marriage to Prince Thelonius Mossley was meant to unite two kingdoms. Yet behind the facade of charm and grace, Juliette feels trapped-by duty, by expectations, by a life that isn't hers. Seeking solace on the shore, she dreams of a freedom she's never known. Odessa of Oceanis is no ordinary girl. A curious and defiant soul, she's drawn to the forbidden surface, her wild laughter and untamed spirit igniting something in Juliette that she's never felt before. By day, Odessa walks at Juliette's side, intoxicating and impossible to resist. By night, she vanishes into the waves, hiding secrets that could destroy them both. When the truth surfaces, their connection threatens to unravel the fragile balance between land and sea. Whispers spread, unseen forces close in, and the lovers face an impossible choice: duty to their kingdom, or love that could cost them everything. Because the sea does not forgive, and the tides are rising.

Let's talk about my very first kill. I was a child back then. No... a baby. My mother died at childbirth. Father spent all his life blaming me for her death. He was a drunkard. Beat me regularly. By age ten, I killed him. Maybe I was wrong to do it. Or maybe you just don't see things as I do. You see this Managed Democracy thing. It's wrong, it's tyranny. I kill because I had to. Because we're tired of living under your thumb. I fight for freedom. I kill because it's right. And I'll never stop killing until we're free. I'm a natural born killer.

In the kingdom of Alverot, Princess Marina Amon's fate seems to be set in stone: a political marriage to a rising tyrant known as Prince Camaro from the Kingdom of Furlinver. Fleeing in fear for her future, Marina turns heel from her wedding and goes into hiding, seeking shelter from a peasant girl and her grandmother. Through them, she learns to lead a secret life as Ci Wivret that is far from luxury. It's only until fate beckons her back to the altar, and in an attempt to face it, she is met, rather, with a crew of rowdy pirates aboard the Royal Karmah who kidnap her and seek to topple the tyranny of Prince Camaro. Written by a queer, feminist woman, From Princess to Pirate: The Legend of Ci Wivret is a story of courage, sacrifice, and defiance; a tale of seeking identity, facing and forging destiny, and what we do for love.

In a world hidden from ordinary humans' eyes, a rift exists where supernatural beings, creatures of nightmares, reside. This realm remains shielded from prying eyes, accessible only to those captured and forced into servant training. Once inside, individuals are reprogrammed for absolute obedience and trained to fulfill their Master's every whim until they are deemed expendable. Escape is impossible. Madelyn Vagen lived her life blissfully unaware of this hidden world. Orphaned at three and with no memories of her early years, she was adopted by a loving family who nurtured her with the belief that she could achieve anything. After a failed date, Madelyn's everyday life shatters, and she becomes a victim of this dark trade. Captured and stripped of her identity, she is prepared to be sold to the highest bidder. Her fate seems sealed until the royal family abruptly interrupts her auction. As she is thrust into a world of secrets, Madelyn uncovers truths she never imagined. She learns about her mother's past, follows in her footsteps, and is pulled into a life where she must navigate the treacherous waters of royal blood. Madelyn finds herself fighting for her own survival and those who cannot protect themselves.

"It felt almost...depressing, having one person dictate all I was feeling. Though it was one I've always had, and one I couldn't resist. Like a moth to a flame. Everyone knows it'll harm the moth, but the moth, simply, does not care." In a small town, we follow the lives of two individuals. Steven, raised by an authoritarian father, and a timid mother. While James is raised with a neglectful mother and an absent father. They trek down the halls of fragmented memories of their past friendship that was ripped away from them alongside the security they used to give each other. Navigating their voyage of feelings on if they want something more or if they just crave nostalgic comfort while dealing with the turmoils of home? They venture through shattered dreams of what could've been, constantly haunting them...all while pushing each other away out of fear. Will they be able to rekindle what has been lost, or will it forever be a downward spiral of heartbreak and betrayal of oneself and others? A testament of resilience that binds us all and makes us human. That even in our darkest moments, the essence of who we are lies in our struggles and our hopes. Humanity isn't meant to be viewed in black or white. Rather an array of reflective shades...some buried deeper than one wants to realize.
