Every century, creatures return in the night and those they take are never seen again. Fourteen year old Ares has always believed his parents died to those monsters. Raised by the woman he calls his grandmother, he thinks he is just another orphan of the terror that haunts their world. But when the creatures attack his village and force everyone to flee, Ares begins to realize the truth is far more dangerous than he imagined. As ancient horrors draw closer, whispers of a forgotten past resurface: a stolen kingdom, a fallen royal bloodline, and a throne meant to stay hidden. Long ago, dragons protected humanity until humans betrayed them, shattering the fragile balance that kept the darkness at bay. Now the creatures are searching. Not for villages. For him. Hunted by monsters, pursued by enemies of a lost crown, and burdened with a destiny he never asked for, Ares must uncover who he really is before the truth destroys him and everyone he loves. Because the throne was stolen. The heir was hidden. And fate will not stay buried forever.

Mikhael was supposed to die nameless, just another body fed into the Empire's quiet machinery. Instead, he survives long enough to learn the truth: nobles don't rule by blood alone. They rule by seals, by stolen power, and by a religion built to keep everyone else kneeling. When Mikhael kills a Duke, it doesn't set him free. It puts a mark on him. Now he is locked inside House Romulus, forced into a role he never chose, watched from every angle, taught rules that were designed to break him into something useful. His little brother Lionel is close, but not close enough, and Mikhael is running out of patience. Something has also started to speak inside his head, quiet at first, then clearer, as if it has been waiting for him to crack. Book One follows Mikhael's arrival at House Romulus, the daily control disguised as "order," the lies holding the estate together, and the choices he makes as he starts planning the fire.

What happens when a girl who hates touch meets her match? Mara lives by rules. Long sleeves. Gloves. Exit routes. No touch, no surprises, no getting close enough for anyone to become a problem. Then Elena Ruiz sits beside her in art therapy like it's the most natural thing in the world. Elena smells like soap and flowers and trouble. She works at her mom's flower shop, Rosa & Bloom, where she names the crooked-stem flowers that no one will buy and talks about plants like they're messy little saints. She's also the kind of girl who says exactly what she thinks, laughs at the worst possible moments, and somehow learns Mara's boundaries without turning them into a spectacle. What starts as a school project turns into a quiet obsession built on almost-touch: a sleeve brushing a glove, a ribbon tied without skin contact, a flower left on a desk like a secret. But in a school that feeds on rumors and a home where Mara's mother treats love like something punishable, being seen together is enough to turn tenderness into a target. Skin Deep is a sharp, darkly funny queer coming-of-age novel about the intimacy of restraint, the violence of other people's opinions, and the way a single person can make you feel safe... right before the world reminds you what safety costs.
