Lost Island Series #5: "Listen to the song, to the symphony of the sea and sail towards the love that was lost yet found again." Cathalina once called the palace her home, but now it feels like a cage. Sheltered, hidden, and controlled, she was nothing more than a puppet, obeying the commands of those who dictated her life. Lost and lonely, she realized it was time to break free and rediscover herself. When her parents announced her arranged marriage, she had reached her limit. She refused to let others decide her fate any longer. This time, she would make her own choice-to search for the man her heart truly longed for. Fleeing into the night, she found herself aboard a ship, where she met the tall, enigmatic, with striking midnight-black eyes, and handsome Captain Lucian Alessandro Castanier. Would their love rewrite a fate that's been sealed long ago? Could it defy fate? Could it defy the very forces that threaten to tear them apart-even death itself? As they sail together upon the endless sea, will they reclaim a love that was once lost? Or would the cruel destiny make history repeat itself?

"You are fated to end the reign of the gods." After discovering the appalling truth behind her birthright, Ahlkria ends up in a position far from the reality she once lived-in and believed. Exploring places where she thought to have only existed in the books of history... And meeting new people whom she never even once dreamed of becoming a central part of her life. The semideuses: powerful half-mortal offsprings born of the gods themselves---and that unfortunately, she was one of them. With the bonds formed between the traces of their divine bloodlines that dated way back from the ancient gods of Greece, their journey begins to revolve around the awakening of an old broken tale written by the Fates themselves and delivered by one of the oracles of the Olympian god, Apollo. A lost prophecy that speaks of the salvation or the annihilation of mankind. An omen that haunts the future of the Olympian pantheon. And former enemies from the myths that were destined to bring upon the inevitable across the realms. In the end, can Ahlkria and the rest of our heroes triumphantly withstand the ultimate battle waged by none other than the ancient gods themselves? Or will their stories all wind-up lost and forgotten throughout the infinite passage of time?
