The Art Of Ruin follows Yasmin, a teenage girl haunted by a violent tragedy from her past. Once feared and admired as a cruel "queen bee," Yasmin survives a horrifying attack that leaves two of her friends dead, one friend in a coma, and her conscience shattered. Forced to leave her old life behind, she moves to the gloomy town of Gloomspire to live with the mother who once abandoned her. At her new school, Yasmin hopes to disappear quietly. Instead, she is pulled into another cycle of cruelty when a powerful trio of girls blackmail and humiliate her. As she struggles with guilt, panic attacks, grief, and the fear that she deserves every bad thing that happens to her, she slowly begins to find unexpected warmth through her adopted stepbrother Harun, his sharp-tongued best friend Fu'ad, and the friendship she almost destroys with Diana.  As Yasmin begins to heal and reclaim herself, she earns academic success and a scholarship to the prestigious Bellthorne University, where a new chapter begins. There, she encounters the brilliant and emotionally guarded Aahil Adam, heir to a powerful legacy and a man whose interest in her is as unsettling as it is magnetic. Their connection grows through intellect, tension, and unspoken curiosity. But Yasmin's past refuses to stay buried. Strange events, disappearances, psychological terrors, and the ghost of the girl she helped destroy begin to close in. As old sins resurface and new secrets emerge, Yasmin must decide whether survival is enough-or whether she is finally ready to face the truth about who she was, who she became, and who she still has the chance to be.

Below the hill, in the sun-drenched valley, lives Seokjin, a farmer's son whose laughter is as constant as the harvest. But when his father falls ill with the same mysterious, wasting sickness that claimed the Lady of Blackwood, Seokjin's world shatters.

He enters a world of shadowed hallways and a master who has forgotten how to be human, unaware that his own kindness might be the only thing capable of shattering the ice or getting him killed.
