But when the evidence begins to point closer to home, the line between trust and suspicion begins to blur.

Behind her warm smile, however, lies a mind shaped by darkness and obsession, a presence that draws Sonya deeper into a dangerous web she can't yet see. As murders escalate and secrets intertwine, Sonya must navigate a world where love can blind, loyalty can deceive, and every choice could be fatal. In a city where nothing is what it seems, how do you hunt someone you can't stop loving?

When Lookmhee agrees to marry her long-time boyfriend, she never imagines the weight of a promise could turn into a prison.

What begins as stolen glances turns into stolen nights, and soon Lookmhee is trapped in a dangerous game between love, lust, and betrayal. In a society that demands perfection, can Lookmhee choose desire over duty? Or will her affair with Sonya destroy everything she once believed was hers?

When Rio joined Agatha on the witches' road, she wasn't scared. If anything, she was cocky. The idea of walking the witches' road with her wife again felt like an adventure-an opportunity to be by Agatha's side, even if Agatha clearly didn't want her there. Rio thought it would be fun, familiar, despite the trials ahead. She had convinced herself nothing could touch her. But when the second trial arrived, everything changed. Rio found herself standing on the porch of the only home she had ever known-the home she shared with Agatha and their son, Nicholas. The witches' road was ancient, as old as she was, and it had reached into her mind, plucked her deepest fear from the darkness she refused to acknowledge. It wasn't a monster or some forgotten villain. It was a memory. The memory of the day she lost everything. And in that moment, standing on that porch, Rio realized the truth: for all her bravado, the witches' road knew exactly how to break her. Because the one thing Rio feared more than anything was reliving the day her world shattered.

Will they find a way to heal and reclaim their love, or will the shadows of their history consume them once more? "You could burn the world down, Rio," Agatha whispered, her lips grazing Rio's ear. "But together, we could burn brighter than the stars-and make the world bow."
