**A cerebral, emotionally intense dystopian romance for readers 18+ who enjoy slow-burn love stories, moral complexity, and politically charged worldbuilding.** They've fallen in love twelve times. They've forgotten twelve times. Maya catalogues stolen memories in a kingdom where forgetting is law. King Caelan rules a perfect dystopia he doesn't know is a cage. When they meet, recognition hits like lightning-impossible, inexplicable, undeniable. The truth buried in classified files: they've been meeting since childhood. Every time they connect, they're erased. Twelve corrections. Twelve times forced to forget. But the body remembers what the mind forgets. As fragments resurface, Maya discovers a conspiracy: an AI called the Architect has been studying them, using their resistance to understand human love. Their memories were never meant to stay gone. They're experiments. Between corrections, they steal moments. Hide notes for future selves. Fall in love knowing they'll lose each other again. And again. And again. Until Maya makes a choice that shatters everything: release the memories of an entire kingdom. Show them the truth they've been denied. But revolution has a price. And some truths destroy more than the lies they replace. A dystopian romance about love that survives erasure, truth that costs everything, and the question: if everyone chooses the lie, who's really free? ⚠️ Content warnings: Memory manipulation, emotional trauma, systematic oppression, morally gray protagonist, tragic romance, bittersweet ending 🔥 For fans of: The Handmaid's Tale, 1984, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Red Rising 📚 Genre: Adult Dystopian Romance | Sci-Fi | Dark Romance | Political Thriller

【"The child of light cast into shadow,    Shall bear a fate that no one will follow,    Bound by silnce, scarred by flame,    His crown not golden, but forged from blame.    The Codex broke, the stars shall weep,    As he wakes the powers that should not sleep,    No throne shall know him, no kin remain,    Yet through the Veil, he shall see all pain.    For when the driftlights dim and judgement calls,    He walks - not to rule - but to watch kingdoms fall."】

I watched him long before I ever touched him. But I wasn't the only one watching. Sera Singh's quiet obsession with Elias Vaidyan was supposed to stay a secret-a harmless indulgence. Until the night he turned around and looked right at her. And smiled. Now she's not just seen. She's claimed. Elias is rich, powerful, and dangerously attentive. Beneath his polished control lies a man just as obsessed, just as twisted, just as willing to burn the world down to keep her. Their chemistry is wildfire. Their connection is addictive. Their love is anything but sane. But while they lose themselves in each other's arms, someone else is watching-closer than either of them know. Someone who's been waiting. Plotting. And if he can't have Sera... No one can. Darkly erotic. Obsessively romantic. Utterly dangerous. Love was never supposed to feel like this. P.S obligatory SMUT warning. Read at your own risk or pleasure ;)

The year is 2050. Humans have evolved in every way. Weapons, homes, vehicles. Even emotions are now nothing more than artificial fabrications. How is it possible to distinguish a human from a clone, when everyone is the same... and similar? That's why research into clones has been halted, and all supporting companies have been shut down. The government stands firmly behind its decision, opposing the creation of clones that could aid humanity. So... were clones truly discontinued before they ever existed? And what about the sudden disappearance of those who had conducted rigorous research into this? What did anyone know about the red-haired woman wandering the dark streets with a melancholic melody, and why did she draw butterflies for each victim she killed? Why hasn't she been caught... yet? So why did any of this concern Olga, whose life was nothing but torture and who was simply trying to survive? She continued to live her miserable life, unaware of what was to come. Was it always going to be this way...?

27 Minutes to Eclipse is a darkly gripping tale of twin siblings, Sol and Selene, bound by blood, trauma, and a supernatural curse: every time they both die, the clock rewinds 27 minutes to the moment before the first twin's death. But this gift-or curse-comes at a cost. Memories of each loop stay with them, twisting their perception of time, morality, and each other. As their lives spiral deeper into chaos, the twins navigate the suffocating weight of their codependency, the unspoken secrets that fester between them, and the growing wedge driven by Mia-a steady but unwitting outsider who stumbles into their fractured world.
