Jacob's life in the bustling, quirky city of Grummsdale was anything but ordinary, thanks to his eccentric Uncle Laramie. Between Laramie's bizarre inventions, mounting debts, and a landlord who doubles as a menacing enforcer, Jacob thought he had seen it all. But when his uncle vanishes, leaving behind only a cryptic pendant and a trail of unanswered questions about Jacob's past, ordinary is suddenly a distant memory.Thrust into a world far more dangerous and fantastical than he ever imagined, Jacob discovers that Grummsdale harbors secrets darker than its shadowed alleys. With a strange new power stirring within him and a growing suspicion that his own family history is intertwined with the city's hidden truths, Jacob must navigate a web of corruption, shadowy organizations, and unexpected allies. He'll soon learn that his mismatched eyes might be the least unusual thing about him, and that sometimes, the greatest heroes are forged in the most unlikely of circumstances.Can Jacob uncover the truth about his uncle's disappearance and his own mysterious heritage before Grummsdale-and perhaps the world-falls prey to the forces lurking in the shadows?

Dalia has a toxic man. Ilan is soon to be engaged. And the world is watching. Dalia Levy is a mess. A college student, adorable, hardworking, and just a little too naughty for her own good. Most of her evenings are spent buried in books at the campus library, chasing grades and quiet dreams. Until one night... everything changes. A chance encounter with her classmate's boyfriend, who just happens to be the cold, arrogant heir to the Vance Hotels empire, turns her world completely upside down. Ilan Vance lives a life that's already been written for him-His career, his future... even his love life. He's destined to be engaged to Adaline Moore, the perfect, powerful heir to Moore Internationals. Until Dalia. She's chaos in its most tempting form-unexpected, messy, and completely out of place in his perfectly curated world. She wasn't part of the plan... and yet, he can't seem to look away. And as if things weren't complicated enough... Dalia already has a boyfriend, one who refuses to let her go. But the world is watching. With paparazzi cameras waiting to turn every glance, every touch, every mistake into scandal, Ilan and Dalia are forced to face the truth: Some loves don't just break hearts. They destroy lives. ♡───♡ "How noble of you," Ryan says slowly. "Ilan Vance, the heir of Vance Hotels, finds time in his very busy schedule to help a college girl with her assignment." His eyes sharpen. "A girl who isn't even really his friend." Ilan shrugs. Casual. Arrogant. "I'm just selfless, I guess." A challenge. Ilan steps closer. They're standing face to face now. I clutch my laptop tighter against my chest. "She doesn't need your selflessness," Ryan says. "She has me." Ilan tilts his head slightly. "Seems like you're not very good at your job." Ryan's jaw tightens. "Still doesn't make her yours," he says, voice low and dangerous. "She. Is. Mine." Each word lands like a blow. "Mine." Ilan goes silent.But there is a challenge in his eyes

In the floating city of Ignivar, where the sky is ruled by law and the wind answers only to heroes, Anya has always believed herself ordinary in the only way that matters in a world built above the clouds. She lives for motion, for altitude, for the brief moments when the world below turns quiet and she can almost forget who she is meant to be. But some truths do not stay buried. Unknown to her, blood ties her to something far darker than she ever imagined. When her path collides with duty itself, she meets the one person who should never have become important to her at all. Renee is everything Anya is not meant to trust. Disciplined where Anya is reckless, loyal where Anya is untethered and sworn to uphold the Accords that keep the city aloft and orderly. As a rising hero of Ignivar, Renee's life is built upon certainty, until a single unauthorized flyer turns pursuit into something far more complicated than duty. What begins as chase becomes collision and in the thin air between law and rebellion, between past and identity, the two girls find something neither of them were trained to survive. Love does not arrive gently in Ignivar. It descends like weather no one predicted and yet beneath the fragile gravity of their bond, shadows stir. Anya's forgotten origins begin to surface, truth tightens its grip, loyalty fractures while Anya is forced to choose between the oath she was born into and the girl she was meant to love. Anya is left not only without Renee, but without the certainty of who she is at all. What follows is a descent through memory, identity, and the long wind carved path of becoming something new. A story of sky bound freedom, forbidden love and the long echo of choices that refuse to stay in the past. My original work ‼️
