"What? You gonna avoid me again like you did today? Pretend I'm not here and call it a night?" Then there's Donovan. Bittersweet, underappreciated Donovan. My best friend. The only person I had known I could use as a safety cushion whenever things got tough. My punching bag, my own personal, opinionated diary. He snapped my journal shut, waving it at me. "Can you be honest for once in your life and tell me what that list is about?" "I am honest with you."I mumbled, distracted by the bruises and cuts on his hand. "What happened there?" "Don't dodge the question. If you're so honest, why didn't you tell me they were giving you a hard time?" "Because it doesn't matter." "And Mel?" I admit that the worry in his honeyed-earths had almost cracked my demeanor, leaving me feeling vulnerable enough to want to open up to him, to let him in on all the cruelty I've endured. That is until he mentioned her. He took my silence as the answer he wanted to his question. He wanted me to be the bad guy because he cared that much for her. Wanted me to take on the role of bad friend so it'd fit his story and make him secure in his feelings. "Don't touch my stuff, Donovan." I mumbled and plucked my journal out of his hands with no fight from his end. I tucked my secrets back on my bookshelf and leaned against the wall, arms crossed as I anticipated his next words. I was met with silence and a whole lot of eye judging and with that, my old nemesis, panick, set in. "Did you read it?" Gosh, I hate how fragile that came out. I need to pull myself together before I end up saying something I'd regret. "You still haven't answered my question about Mel." "Because it's insulting." I responded, balling my hands into a fist to keep from chewing on my nails. "Did you read my journal?" He scoffed. "What do you think?" ... A story that tells of the struggles of teenage life, embracing change and how to cope with society as a whole.

BOOK TWO of The Breath of Aethriel This story is not a standalone. Read Book One: A Crown of Storms before continuing. In Aethriel, freedom is never given - it's bargained for. Velari's disappearance has already shaken kingdoms. Far from court and crown, she is drawn into a hidden world of ancient loyalties, forbidden knowledge, and political games played in shadow. Every truth uncovered carries a cost, and every alliance demands something in return. Because Velari is no longer just a runaway princess. She is leverage. As old powers stir and carefully constructed lies begin to fracture, the war threatening Aethriel reveals itself as something far older - and far more personal - than any clash of armies. Gods are not what they claim to be. History is not what was recorded. And the storm within Velari is no longer content to remain contained. When she finally loses control, it will not break chains. It will break the world.

**A cerebral, emotionally intense dystopian romance for readers 18+ who enjoy slow-burn love stories, moral complexity, and politically charged worldbuilding.** They've fallen in love twelve times. They've forgotten twelve times. Maya catalogues stolen memories in a kingdom where forgetting is law. King Caelan rules a perfect dystopia he doesn't know is a cage. When they meet, recognition hits like lightning-impossible, inexplicable, undeniable. The truth buried in classified files: they've been meeting since childhood. Every time they connect, they're erased. Twelve corrections. Twelve times forced to forget. But the body remembers what the mind forgets. As fragments resurface, Maya discovers a conspiracy: an AI called the Architect has been studying them, using their resistance to understand human love. Their memories were never meant to stay gone. They're experiments. Between corrections, they steal moments. Hide notes for future selves. Fall in love knowing they'll lose each other again. And again. And again. Until Maya makes a choice that shatters everything: release the memories of an entire kingdom. Show them the truth they've been denied. But revolution has a price. And some truths destroy more than the lies they replace.
