For Makena, life is a quiet navigation of grief and unspoken fears, especially around a truth she barely dares to name. But everything shifts the day a single word, searched with trembling hands, cracks something open. Suddenly, she's drawn into stories she can't unread, stories that awaken a love she was taught to fear. Then comes Aziza. With eyes that make Makena forget every rule she's written to protect herself, Aziza is everything she fears... and secretly longs for. Now, Makena must make a decision: to embrace a love that feels like both salvation and betrayal, or to retreat into the lonely safety of denial. Echoes is a story of quiet defiance, of finding healing in unexpected places, and of a love so profound it just might rewrite everything Makena thought she knew about faith, family, and herself.

It was supposed to be simple. It started with a list. A five-step plan. A little duct tape. And a very detailed Google search history. Alex Grimshade had a plan, follow him, learn his routine, wait for the right moment... and take him. Just long enough for him to develop stockholm syndrome, get him to marry her, and share his billionaire fortune. Easy right? Well, not exactly. Giovanni Ricci is a ghost in the criminal underworld. Charming in public, lethal in private, and impossible to get close to. But Alex did. And when the moment came, she didn't flinch. She didn't expect him to recognize her. Now, he's tied up in the back of her car, bleeding from a shallow cut, calmly studying her through the rearview mirror like he knows something. Something she doesn't. The more time passes, the more Alex starts to question the story she's been told. The people who sent her. And the reason why Giovanni never fought back. Because this wasn't part of her plan. And Giovanni Ricci isn't acting like a victim. He's acting like he's waiting. For what? or who? she has no idea. And in the silence between their standoffs, she can feel it: She just stepped into something far bigger than her wild fantasy

Dread is a mythic saga about a boy named Jabulani, born into a world reshaped by gods, memory, and divine systems known as Domains. In this future, essence-the raw spiritual force of the world-no longer flows from belief, but from knowledge. Jab becomes the center of a forgotten prophecy and the target of ancient fear. Alongside his friends-Suyana, Calix, and Wendell-he begins uncovering the hidden truths behind Subjecthood, memory, and divinity. The gods have not returned for worship-but for control. But this time, a mortal child might remember too much. Essence is not magic. It is memory. And memory can change everything.
