Caiden O'Malley is fine, thanks. Not insane. Not lonely. Not dead... yet. He's living it up in post-apocalyptic Minneapolis, if your idea of "living it up" is scraping by on canned beans and slightly expired liquorice, fighting through hordes with his machete Machete and modelling the latest "dumpster-diving-sleep-deprived-raccoon" style. Okay. Maybe he's not fine. But when the enigmatic sharpshooter Sage shows up to save his ass from zombies like some Hello Kitty fan moonlighting as a guardian angel, his world turns upside down. Suddenly, he's got someone to fight with, and he might make out alive. Inspired by Caiden's favourite streamer Lexi, the pair embark on a mission to find safe harbour. A zone clear from the infection: NEW EDEN. But with a dream in mind and a wary alliance with Sage starting to grow, Caiden begins to realise that maybe there's more to the apocalypse than survival. Maybe it's possible his life could get back to normal again. Or maybe he's crazy and it's going to turn into a different flavour of weird. One thing's for sure: it's going to be a wild ride.

More than a century ago, the once-mighty human-dwarven alliance of Ostrovia was destroyed during a brutal series of civil wars and political malfeasances. Ancient blood magic and dwarven machinery fueled the death and destruction. Kings turned on one another, and the great wizards were corrupted by their own power. What had once held a nation together now doomed it. In the last days of the fall, the orc tribes, united by chaos and bloodshed, descended from the mountains and destroyed the war-torn kingdom, becoming the new dominate race of the land, leaving humanity on the brink of extinction. During those final days, a lone ship of desperate survivors set course on a bold expedition into the perilous and uncharted Sea. Against all odds, they crashed upon the shores of Avaloria... a realm steeped in ancient magic and guarded by a living forests teaming with dangerous enemies, and undiscovered wonder. Now, a generation later, under the steadfast leadership of King Aldros Valtir, the descendants of that fateful journey labor to rebuild civilization in the new world. At the edge of the wild frontier, young Aelar Varos has grown up in Harrow's End, a modest village, clinging to the untamed forests of Avaloria. But when Aelar stumbles upon something impossible deep within the ancient forest, he unwittingly attracts the attention something more powerful than he can fathom, setting his destiny on an uncertain course. Cedric Valtir, eldest son of the King and heir to the throne, is loved by his men and women in equal measure. In the bustling heart of Valoria, where the lively corridors of The Silver Stag echo with hope and revelry, Cedric bridges his regal past with the promise of a new future. With his effortless grace, keen intellect, and warm humor, he inspires his people as he listens to their dreams and fears, even as whispers of impending threats swirl around him. But what will fate have in mind when he leaves the walls of the city that defines him?

On a quiet November night, with tears in eyes I (Ruchi) wrapped myself in a blanket of memories - mustard flowers, navy blue sky, the smell of summer air, shared laughter and a boy who appeared like sunshine in human form. But when he walked into her life with sparkling eyes and a bunch of mustard flowers, he didn't just sit beside her in class - he stole her peace, her curiosity, her jealousy... and something far deeper. All she knew was that everything changed the moment he smiled. In a world full of noise, he spoke in silence. In a world of routines, he brought something unexpected - confusion, heartbeat, butterflies, fluttering teenage affection. And unknowingly, he became the part of her day she never wanted to end. But some stories don't unfold the way we hope. And then, just like that - he was gone. He walked away one day, not with promises or closure, but with a quiet step that echoed in my heart for years. And when he left, he didn't just take memories. He took a part of me - the softest part. The innocent, hopeful version who still believed love meant forever. Four years passed..... People, place, school, friends and everything changed. I grew, stepped into college. I stitched together all the parts of me he unknowingly scattered - and I told myself I was whole again. Until destiny, with its strange sense of timing, brought him back. And when our eyes met again, raw, unspoken, and trembling unfinished stories came rushing back. And suddenly, time folded in on itself like an old love letter - the kind you never send, but can never throw away. To the Boy with Mustard Flowers is a coming-of-age journey through awkward teenage years, loud silences, stolen glances, unfinished goodbyes, and the kind of love that leaves a mark even after it's gone. This isn't a perfect love story, But it's mine, And maybe, it'll be yours too.

He's the flame she should never touch. And together, they might just burn the whole kingdom down. Enemies by fate. Entangled by fire.
