Augustus School-an institution of legacy and excellence, where history whispers through the corridors and greatness is expected at every turn. With elite sports facilities and a reputation for nurturing prodigies, it's more than just a school-it's a proving ground. Kai, fifteen and in his third year of middle school, fits in well enough. He's sharp in class, steady on the badminton court, and surrounded by good friends. He's not chasing popularity or romance like some of the others. On paper, his life is smooth. But beneath the surface, something doesn't sit right. There's a quiet restlessness in him, a feeling he can't quite name. Each day feels like a battle he's not sure he's winning. As he moves through the rhythms of school life, Kai begins to sense that the answers he's looking for aren't in textbooks or trophies-they're somewhere deeper, somewhere harder to reach. This is the story of a boy who seems ordinary to the world, but whose inner world is anything but. A journey of quiet questions, subtle shifts, and the search for something he lost long ago-the simple joy of being alive.

Ever since she was a child, Melody has dreamed of following in her famous mother's footsteps and becoming a singer. But there's one problem-her voice. Convinced she doesn't have what it takes, Melody starts to lose faith in her dream. Everything changes when she crosses paths with people from a completely different world than her own. Through new friendships, raw talent, and a fresh take on music, Melody begins to discover that maybe her voice isn't the problem-it's how she's been taught to hear it. A/N: I've been inspired by a Tumblr post from years ago. If there's similarities with other stories, that's may be why.

I thought the hardest thing I'd ever have to survive was my college applications. Turns out, I was wrong. Try accidentally bonding with a dragon egg during a freak thunderstorm wrong. Now there's a voice in my head that definitely isn't mine, shadows that move when they shouldn't, and monsters that apparently think I'm a five-star meal. Oh--and did I mention the four strange knights from another world who keep trying to kidnap me? Suddenly, I'm caught between two worlds: the human one I've always known, and another full of knights, dragons, magic, and an academy full of war-hungry elites I was never meant to stumble into. And somewhere between not dying, escaping every kidnapping attempt, figuring out how to raise a baby dragon, and trying to understand why one very infuriating (and ridiculously handsome) knight who clearly wants me dead. I'm starting to realize the real danger might not be the monsters at all.

Through the Shifting Trees is a sweeping, slow-burn fantasy romance about fate, forbidden love, and the courage to challenge a world built on cruelty. When environmental scientist Eloise steps into an old photo booth in Philadelphia, she expects nothing more than a moment of nostalgia-not to be ripped from her reality entirely. Stranded in Drysten, a land ruled by elves and shadowed by injustice, she finds herself at the mercy of Cedar, a hardened orc warrior whose past is as tangled as the forests that hide his rebellion. To Cedar, Eloise is leverage-a means to free his imprisoned sister. To Eloise, he is her captor, a man she refuses to trust. But as war looms and the lines between right and wrong blur, she is drawn into a battle far greater than herself. In the hidden village of Annora, where outcasts carve out fragile hope, Eloise begins to question the home she longs for-and the walls Cedar has spent a lifetime building. With every stolen glance and every fight fought side by side, the bond between them deepens, undeniable and dangerous. But love in a world like this demands sacrifice. As the trees shift and the past refuses to stay buried, Eloise must make an impossible choice: fight in a revolution lead by a closed off warrior she hates to admit she cares for, or find a way back to the life she lost on earth before Drysten's rulers track her down and claim her body and soul as their own.

In the quiet town of Eldermere, life is simple for Lyric. A quirky, awkward, and fiercely independent painter, she's nearly finished with college and dreams of opening her own studio, teaching art to kids and selling her work. By day she works among the dusty shelves of a historical bookstore, and by weekend she spends her time with Vira, whose bold, impulsive energy is the perfect counterbalance to Lyric's quiet, cautious nature. After surviving a harrowing abusive relationship that nearly destroyed her, she's wary of men, trusting few and guarding her heart closely. Then Valentine walks into her store. Elegant, enigmatic, and impossibly wealthy, he is a century-old English vampire with secrets as dark as his allure. Drawn to Lyric with an intensity she can't explain, his obsession is sparked by her uncanny resemblance to the human wife he lost seventy years ago. As Valentine edges closer, Lyric's carefully ordered world teeters between desire and suspicion. She wants nothing to do with him, yet can't deny the magnetic pull between them. And Valentine, haunted by his own past, cannot resist uncovering the mystery of this living reflection of the love he once knew. Though Lyric doesn't yet know his secret, part of her already senses the truth: he's nothing like other men. Perhaps, not even entirely human. But surely that's impossible... right?

Eva, a young witch, has to move into her mom's new husband's house... along with his three sons. All of them are mortal. Well, almost all of them...

It takes place in Hythe, a small town by the sea, where Promise Robinson shows up with one goal in mind. She's a songwriter, proud and stubborn and tired of being stepped on, and she's come to confront the guy who stole everything from her. Maxwell Rhodes. The famous popstar who took her lyrics and turned them into hits without ever saying her name. She doesn't come to fall in love. But she does. He's charming and infuriating and broken in all the worst places, and somewhere in the chaos of revenge and heartbreak, they crash into something they can't name. It's not healthy or stable. But it's real in the way only summer love is. This story is based on folklore by Taylor Swift, and you'll feel that on every page. The past is creeping back and the what-ifs that never really die.

Marcus Harrison is an eccentric, extroverted scientist with a love for possibility. Underneath his chaos is logic and structure, and it's what makes him the smartest man in every room he walks into. One day, he decides to use a time machine that the facility where he works created just a scheme to sell his inventions in the Victorian era and get rich. It takes a wrong turn when he finds himself in a time no man would ever dream of stepping foot into: the Precambrian era. Will he make it out? Or will he, like the mollusks of that era, succumb to fossilization?
