Title: HIYAM - THE INK OF LOSS [*set in kashmir 2004*] He loved her in the shadows. He saved her in the blood. Anwar is a ghost in his own life-a fractured poet hiding a dark alter-ego and a traumatic past. He watches Shireen from the darkness, content to be the thief who stole her attention but never her heart. But Shireen belongs to Farhaad, and their forbidden love has awakened a deadly feud within her family. With her brother Omar hellbent on destroying them to avenge his own tragic past, Anwar realizes he isn't the hero of this love story-he is the sacrifice. In a land torn by silence and honor, one broken boy will prove that the loudest love is the one that asks for nothing in return. A haunting tale of obsession, madness, and the ink that dries only after the poet leaves.

Elian Laurent is invisible. A scholarship student buried in art books and oversized sweaters, he tries his best to survive the cutthroat world of St. Jude's University. But invisibility is no longer an option when he catches the eye of Dante Thorne. Dante is everything Elian fears: billionaire heir, campus god, and a predator with a hunger that has lasted centuries. When Dante discovers Elian's secret sketches of him, the game changes. He doesn't just want Elian's attention; he wants his soul. Trapped in a twisted game of cat and mouse, Elian is given a choice: submit to the monster who haunts his dreams, or be devoured by him. But as Dante's obsession turns into a dark, suffocating love, Elian realizes that the only thing more dangerous than running from the devil is falling for him. "You don't get to hide from me, Elian. I am the shadow that swallows you whole."
