Liana Sterling has spent her entire life being watched. As the daughter of one of the country's most powerful political families, every decision, every smile, and every step of her future has already been planned. To the world, she has everything. Ultramarine is a story about freedom, longing, and the lives we inherit before we ever have the chance to choose our own. Tender, melancholic, and deeply romantic, it explores what it means to be truly seen and how a single person can change the course of a life forever.

[@TheAmbys 2025 Favorites (Top Pick)] Bullied and bruised, Adam has survived high school by keeping his head down. Those bothered by his quiet, eccentric nature? They are the 'pretty' ones. The ones with comfortable backgrounds. The ones at the top. When an attractive transfer becomes his seat neighbour for the rest of the semester, Adam is naturally wary - partly because of her brawny sibling in senior year, and partly because she checks every box on his list of people to avoid: pretty, rich, and popular. With an angelic smile, twinkling sapphire eyes and ribbons in her golden hair, her persona screams perfection. A level he won't be able to achieve even in his quirkiest of daydreams - not like he'd ever want to. After all, despite her odd choice of friends, her playful teasing, and her persistent efforts to win his trust, isn't she just another heartless bully? ••• Featured on: @humor - DiverseLit Humor (Sept 2025) @Ambassadors - Slice Of Life (Sept 2025) @humor - Ambassadors' Monthly Pick (Oct 2025) @humor - Ambassadors' Pick List (May 2026) @humor - Ambassadors' Pick List (Sept 2026)
