Naele was never meant to survive. Ever since she was young, she has ignored the will of the gods. Not by choice, but because no priest can decipher the life path marked on her skin. Yet they all agree on one thing: ignoring it means certain death. Naele isn't planning on dying anytime soon, though. She's far too busy for that. Running a medicine shop in a bustling town is hard work. But when death marks start appearing on the skin of the villagers, it becomes clear fate is catching up with her. 🗡️𝗔 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀. 🗓️ 𝗔 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆.

Meet Agatha and Conan. She is named after her grandma's favourite author and has a dark past she's trying to make up for. He is the son of troubled novelist and has a dreary present he is trying to escape. Forced to spend their summer at the same rundown lakeside resort, Agatha and Conan end up in the middle of a mystery... and each other's business.

Damon built a reputation in army special ops by being invisible - getting the job done and leaving no trace. Maybe too good. Now he's just a man surviving the heat of a Mojave desert military base. Lara is a Singaporean architect who restores what everyone else walks past. Old buildings, forgotten facades, zero new complications. Flying in from Singapore, Lara expected sand, sibling arguments with her brother, and absolutely nothing else. A trip to the middle of the Mojave wasn't a holiday, but mundane had its appeal. What she didn't account for was 16 grueling hours trapped side-by-side with Damon. He's survived things that don't make it into official reports, but a sharp-witted architect was definitely not in his files. Turns out his intel had gaps - and the desert isn't done throwing them together. Sometimes you just have to lean into the cliché and catch both flights and feelings.

Ever since the night her fiancé died, Chloe has had one singular purpose: bring him back. She has spent centuries hunting forbidden magic and quietly manipulating witch bloodlines to engineer the perfect vessel in the form of a young witch born with enough raw power to bring a soul back from the dead. But as the ritual nears, a seemingly ordinary mortal boy named Theo crashes into her life, bringing with him a strange, dangerous gravity that disrupts everything she has built. As the lines between her history and her present begin to blur, Chloe is forced to face a terrifying reality. Some sins refuse to stay buried, and the ghosts she left behind in the dark are finally catching up.
