She thinks talking to herself is a habit. He knows it is a connection. She's just an ordinary college girl living away from home-late-night studying, unfinished assignments, random conversations with herself, and far too many thoughts she can't keep inside her head. To her, talking alone is normal. But somewhere beyond the limits of her world, someone is listening. He isn't a ghost. He isn't human. And he isn't supposed to be there. To her, he's nothing more than a strange presence in her room. To him, she is an anomaly. As their strange, unexpected connection grows, what begins as an ordinary college life slowly turns into something neither of them can explain-a story involving dimensions, impossible encounters, secrets, and a bond that perhaps was never supposed to exist. Because what happens when the person who has been listening to all your secrets... is the one who knows things about your future that you don't? Maybe she was never really talking to herself.

Three sisters. One bloodline. A forgotten pact that's waking up. Naomi can move things without touching them. Nica hears what others won't say. Nikki sees what hasn't happened yet. But none of them know it-yet. They're just high school girls with crushes, secrets, and overdue assignments... until ancient visions, strange dreams, and buried powers start to unravel their reality. They are the descendants of the last seers who bound the Nephilim-the fallen angels exiled from heaven. And now, the fallen want them back. Some gifts feel like curses. Some bloodlines were never meant to survive.

The world is divided vertically. Aboveground, people live ordinary lives supported by advanced technology. They believe the age of uncontrolled powers nearly ended civilization, and that safety depends on strict prevention. Below, girls born with abilities are removed from society and placed into containment zones. Their powers are sealed using neural inhibitors that also suppress speech, emotional regulation, and higher reasoning. Officially, this is called protection. In practice, it is abandonment. Lyra is one of those girls. She has lived most of her life under a seal designed to keep her harmless and compliant. When her implant begins to malfunction, the system notices her for the first time. Elise works for that system. She is a technician from above, assigned to observe what should not be possible. As containment turns into scrutiny, both girls are forced to confront the logic that keeps them on opposite sides of the world. The story follows what happens when control fails quietly-and when survival begins to require choice rather than obedience.

In a world of perpetual dusk, they are the only two things that cannot coexist. Elara is a creature of the periphery. She lives in the spaces between shadows, drawn to the flickers of warmth she sees from afar, never daring to get close enough to be seen. She is the moth, fueled by an ancient, aching restlessness, convinced that if she just finds the right light, she will finally be whole. Julian is the light. He is a contained, burning brilliance, a beacon for the lost who doesn't realize his own glow is a trap. He doesn't know he is a lantern; he only knows that he is lonely, and that for the first time in an eternity, something is moving toward him through the dark. They are warned from the beginning: The light will consume the wings, and the moth will leave the lantern cold. But when Elara finally rests against the glass of his light, she realizes that the pain is the only thing that proves she is real. And for Julian, the sight of his own light dying to keep her close is the only freedom he has ever known. Their love is not a saving grace. It is a slow, beautiful disintegration.

Lila hears the future before it happens. She's survived by staying quiet-until a boy who hates her admits he hears it too. Rowan Black is dangerous, secretive, and knows far more than he should. He's also the only one who understands what Lila is becoming. As whispers of a hidden group draw closer, Lila must decide who to trust in a world where the future is already listening. Because loving your enemy is risky. But refusing him might be fatal

Every day, he watches her. Every breath she takes, every word she writes, every way she turns off the light-memorized, dated, framed in his secret notebook. He doesn't know her real name, but he knows she doesn't believe in dreams. He knows she doesn't want anyone to get close. But he's starting to get closer. It's no longer enough for him to see her from afar... Now, he wants to be in her life. As a friend? As something else? This isn't a love story. This is the story of someone who decided to get to know you... without your permission.

"Somewhere between forgotten memories and broken promises... she found two strangers- One who felt like warmth... And one who felt like déjà vu." Some stories are written in blood, some in memories... And some are cursed to repeat.

Every night, the stars disappear one by one. Seventeen-year-old Aria Solstice has always seen things others can't-threads of light woven through the air, whispering secrets she was never meant to hear. When entire constellations begin vanishing from the sky, she realizes those threads are being cut. Enter Rowan Duskryn-a boy who doesn't belong to the world of the living. He is a Keeper of the Night, sworn to protect the balance between light and darkness. But something-or someone-is stealing stars, and the consequences are unraveling reality itself. Bound by a force neither understands, Aria and Rowan must chase the truth through shifting worlds, forgotten magic, and dangerous secrets. But the closer they get, the more Lyra realizes: the power to save the stars might cost her everything... including her own place in the sky.

They say hate is just another shade of passion. Whatever he feels for me-it scorches. He's cold, calculated, and everything I swore I'd never fall for. But fate doesn't care about the promises we make in fear. I never wanted love. He doesn't believe in it. Yet here we are- Tangled in a war of stolen glances, sharp tongues, and tension that tastes too real to ignore. And the cruelest part? I feel every damn second of it.
