Aerith always believed she was an ordinary mortal-clumsy, geeky, and completely out of place in the world. But on the eve of her 18th birthday, she discovers a shocking truth: she's no ordinary girl, but the long-lost daughter of the Fates, destined to rule the Underworld as Hades' queen. Thrown into the realm of gods and monsters, Aerith must learn to navigate her new life among immortal beings, where loyalty and power shift like the winds. Tutored by gods, pursued by ancient rivalries, and bound to Hades-a brooding, powerful god who's been waiting for her for centuries-Aerith faces the daunting challenge of learning how to rule an entire realm while still figuring out how to be herself. Can she rise to the challenge of ruling alongside the enigmatic Hades, or will the forces that oppose her destiny tear their fated union apart? With humor, heart, and a touch of magic, Aerith must learn the ropes of royalty and love in a world where even the gods themselves play by their own rules. How to be a Queen is a fun and fresh take on Greek mythology, blending romance, adventure, and self-discovery into an unforgettable journey through the immortal world.

Since the first time the prince of the Underworld can remember, he has been drawn towards Helen of Troy. Hers was the face that launched a thousand ships and started the legendary Trojan war. He grew up believing she was meant to be his and endured the pain of unrequited love in the process. The problem? Thousands of years onwards and Helen is still in love with Paris. Another problem? The Fates, themselves, decree that Helen and Paris are fated and everything is as it's meant to be! Aidon will never give up though. Armed with the power to control time, he goes back through time to find a way to save the gods and goddesses from Erebus. But he also has plans on using the opportunity to make sure that Helen never married Menelaus and never met Paris. But isn't fated love a love like any other and nothing can stand in it's way? Or there's another twist to this story? Maybe someone else is meant to be with the prince of the Underworld? Truly, the only way is to go back through time to find answers and at the same time, figure out how to defy fate. ***Credits to @DarkLeague for the cover***

(A romance set in medieval Scotland) After a devastating war which took almost everything Laird Ryden MacLeod possessed, he was left to die on the battlefield by his enemies. He was hanging on to life by a thread but his faithful warriors refused to let him die. They dragged him back to his keep and thrust the golden, jewel-studded goblet into his hands and forced him to hope and believe in its magic. The goblet was given to his ancestor by a Faery Queen after he saved her from a trap and returned her safely to their world. The Faery Queen said that should his clan fall into peril, they need only fill the goblet with blood sacrifice and one of them shall come to aid. That night, the goblet was filled with blood and as he took his dying breath, he gazed upon the most beautiful lass he’s ever seen. A lass who looked like the one he married years ago who disappeared after their night of passion. “What is your wish? Ask and it shall be yours as promised by my ancestors.” The fae woman vowed in a soft voice. In the Laird’s delirious state, thinking it was not real and it was all a dream of his wife who left, he replied with “Stay with me.”

Best friend ko si Reeve since... forever. But when I was six and he was ten, his family had to go back to London. Before he left, he promised me that we would remain friends no matter what. Mahirap sa una. Pero habang tumatanda kami, nagaadvance din naman ang technology. Fourteen years later, meron nang Viber, Wechat at kung anu-ano pa! Keeping in touch with him became as easy as breathing and we constantly updated each other about the happenings in our lives. But we had two rules: 1) No sending each other pictures through email, Facebook or Twitter and no Facetime or Skype. Why? Because we promised we'd see each other again someday and we wanted to make that moment special. 2) We'll never keep any secrets from each other. Number 2, was a promise I kept but it seemed that Reeve had a lot of secrets. Hindi naman gaanong big deal para sakin. Even if he had secrets, he'll still be my best friend. But was 'friendship' really all there was? Or was there more? Perhaps, what we had was actually a long distance-love affair and that distance is just a number? Credits to @soelklauser for the cover!
