Destiny is written. But what if an error has appeared in the script? Knox knew his place-in the shadows, far from trouble and the powerful of this world. His only goal was to live a quiet, unnoticed life. But one day, a gift he never asked for ends up in his hands. A power capable of changing everything. This gift pushes him out of the shadows. Now, he is an anomaly in a world that has no room for mistakes. And the path to the quiet life he so dreamed of is closed forever.

In a world driven by cold gears, smog-choked skies, and the steep price of artificial miracles, ten-year-old twins Aaron and Elara live in the shadow of a forgotten paradise. They are bound by a strange phenomenon: a recurring, shared dream of a vibrant era when natural riches were abundant, impossible mythical creatures roamed free, and a kind-hearted entity known as the Caretaker guided humanity. Branded as outcasts for believing their dreams are real, the twins' lives are upended when their father loses his factory job to automation, forcing the family to flee the high-tech capital for their grandparents' antique estate on the edge of the wildlands. But the country hides secrets of its own. When pieces of their dreams begin bleeding into reality-from an impossible cherry-blossom stag to a mysterious silhouette watching from the shadows-Aaron and Elara realize the ancient folklore isn't a myth at all. Armed with a map of local legends and a new ally, the twins must venture into the deep woods to uncover the truth of the Caretaker before the destructive shadows of the industrial world catch up to them. -(written with the help of Ai)-

In a world where magic is as common as breathing, there is one thing everyone has forgotten. What existed before magic. Aerus is fifteen years old, has no gift, and survived an accident that killed his entire family. Nobody knows why. Not even him. What he doesn't know - what nobody knows - is that he is not alone inside his own body. He never was. There is something very ancient sleeping within him. Something older than any affinity, any spell, anything that magic books have ever described. And it is about to wake up. When it does, the world Aerus knew ceases to exist. And someone who has been waiting for him for a very long time finally knows where he is.

Joko was just an ordinary poor college student living in a cramped dorm room, working part-time to pay for tuition, J and trying to survive the harsh realities of city life. There was nothing special about him-at least until he realized one impossible thing: He was never wrong. Every decision Joko made always turned out perfectly. His exam answers were always correct. His small choices always brought him luck. Even when the situation seemed impossible, the world seemed to force everything to go his way. At first, that ability felt like a miracle that finally changed his life. But as time went on, that perfection turned into something terrifying. People began to grow suspicious. His friends drifted away. Some were jealous, some were afraid, and others wanted to take advantage of him. Behind all the success he achieved, Joko slowly lost something far more important: the freedom to be an ordinary person. Because what if a life that's always right... is actually a curse? And for the first time in his life, Joko wanted to make a single mistake.

"How dare you bring me aboard this ship without so much as telling me what you are?" She yelled. Kincade let out a smug grin, one that infuriated Astryd even more. She took a few more steps toward him so that they were mere feet apart. He looked down at a doubloon he was holding and slowly turned it over in his hands as he spoke. "I saw a troubled woman in a sailor's pub, obviously hiding from the royal guards. Surely you must have gotten yourself into a sticky situation. And you don't expect me to assume what you are?" Astryd fumbled for words. What was he getting at? He lifted his head to look her in the eyes. "You're a thief and now a sailor. You know what that makes you, sweetheart?" "I am not a..." she shouted, but she stumbled at the last word. She pointed her finger in Kincade's face and whispered, "pirate." -------------------------------------------- I would like to acknowledge Thompson Editing Services, who is responsible for being my editor and proofreader for this book as well as an amazing writing mentor.
