"His eyes haunted her dreams. His name consumed her thoughts. His love became her obsession." In the year 2060, history isn't just a subject-it's an obsession. And for **her**, it all begins with a forgotten king of Rajasthan, a warrior lost to time, his story incomplete. His victories are legendary, yet the woman beside him remains a mystery. No name, no portrait-only a single painting of her eyes, by the king himself. She shouldn't crave a man who lived centuries ago. She shouldn't long for the touch of someone whose bones turned to dust. But when fate opens a forbidden door, she steps through-into a world where he is real, where his voice is thunder, and his presence is fire. Thrown into the past, into a kingdom ruled by the very man who ruled her heart, she is no longer a historian. She is a stranger in a world that doesn't belong to her. And when those dark, piercing eyes finally land on her, she knows one thing- "Some obsessions are destined. Some loves are eternal. And some oaths... are timeless."

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

3 Days SF Thriller For struggling filmmaker Andie McKenna, life could be better. Her fledgling film company is on the rocks. She's seventy-two hours away from being kicked out of her rent-by-the-week shoe box of an apartment in the dodgiest part of San Francisco, and her marriage is on life support. And if things couldn't get worse, she receives a cryptic telegram from the Mexican orphanage where she grew up: "Come quick, your father is dying." Interesting, since she's an orphan. Andie rushes to the orphanage where she grew up to find Father Pakal Ramirez, the priest who raised her, alive and well. He's going into the jungle after a lethal parasite, and he wants to see her one last time in case he doesn't return. When Andie is accidentally exposed to the parasite, Pakal draws her blood and gives her an anti-parasitic. She reacts to the medication and passes out. When she wakes, Pakal is gone. Furious beyond words, Andie returns to San Francisco to find the Bay Area plunged into chaos. Something fell from the sky and crashed north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Something not made by humans. And then there's the frozen, long-forgotten vial of blood, padlocked in a metal box and buried in the orphanage's freezer. Blood that will impact Andie's life irrevocably and shatter the illusion that we are alone in the universe.
