Noah Hale was once golden, bright, easy-going, alive. Now he is Patient A37. A dangerous anomaly locked inside a private research hospital, hidden from the world by the one man he trusted most. Five years ago, an accident in his best friend's, Evan Carrow's lab changed everything. The serum meant to heal instead tore Noah's body apart. Shattering bone, electrifying blood, ripping open abilities no human should possess. The world was told he turned violent. The truth is much darker. Drugged, tortured, and studied like a specimen, Noah has been transformed into the monster Evan needed him to be. Rage coils in his veins like lightning. His telekinesis surges with every scream he tries to swallow. The staff fear him. The world fears him. And he is beginning to fear himself. Then Lana arrives. A brilliant new nurse with soft hands and a guarded heart, Lana Moore is assigned to observe Patient 01 and nothing more. But the moment she sees him through the reinforced glass, something is wrong. His agony looks too human. His eyes follow her too carefully. And Noah notices her gentleness. Her hesitation. Her warmth in a place built entirely on cold floors and lies. She's the first person who doesn't look at him like a monster. Which is dangerous... for both of them. Because Noah's powers are growing. His hatred is sharpening. And the truth about what Evan did is itching to tear the world open. And it starts with the girl bold enough to touch the lightning. A dark romance of captivity, betrayal, obsession, and the terrifying moment when the monster they created decides he won't stay contained. He wasn't born a villain. They made him one. And she might be the only one who can unmake him... or destroy what's left.

But from the moment their eyes met, it was as if fate had chosen them. And one dangerous, forbidden kiss changed everything. King Lucien has ruled with fire and precision, never wavering. But Victoria awakens something reckless in him. Possessive, protective, and willing to tear down the walls of his own court to keep her safe. And Lucien soon finds that love does not come without cost. With enemies circling and secrets surfacing, his kingdom is no longer his greatest concern-she is. As shadows from Victoria's past begin to whisper the truth of a royal bloodline she never knew, she's forced into a world of power, betrayal, and revenge. Some would rather see her silenced than see her crowned. Others will do anything to expose her. And through it all, Lucien would burn the world for her. One kiss changed everything. But the truth might ruin them both.

On the morning she should have been finalizing wedding plans, Cassandra Vale is torn from her life by a summoning ritual that mistakes desperation for destiny. She awakens in a foreign court alongside four other strangers, each pulled from unfinished lives and private futures. Jason Calloway looks like he lives in the gym and believes strength can solve anything. William James prefers silence and observation to conversation. Vivian Sterling built a life through screens and attention, now stranded in a world that doesn't care who's watching. And Alexander Mercer-the effortless golden boy-hides the truth behind a smile that disarms everyone. Together, they are declared heroes. A world on the brink of collapse claims it had no choice. Demons press against failing seals. Ancient protections crumble. And those in power believe salvation can be taken from another reality, if the need is great enough. But the summoned are not grateful. Being chosen doesn't make you a hero. It makes you a resource. And Cassandra Vale never agreed to be merciful. From the moment they arrive, it becomes clear the ritual was flawed, the explanations incomplete, and the cost deliberately obscured. Cassandra recognizes the pattern immediately. She's read these stories. She knows the roles being offered, the expectations being placed, and the quiet demand for obedience that follows. Playing along may be the only way to survive-but that doesn't mean she intends to accept it. As grief hardens into anger and fragile alliances form, the summoned heroes agree to help a world that stole them. Not because they believe in destiny. Not because they were chosen. But because innocent lives are caught in the middle. This is not a story about divine heroes. It's about a forced kidnapping that tries to turn them into one.
