Hollowmere was supposed to be behind her. A place to forget. A place to heal. But the moment Adira steps back into town... the town wakes up. The fog watches. The lake listens. The forest whispers her name like it never stopped. Something in Hollowmere has been waiting for her return - patient, quiet, and far from harmless. And the deeper Adira goes, the more she realizes: these woods don't want her to remember. They want her to feel. Feel the pull. Feel the fear. Feel the truth she was never meant to survive. Not all secrets stay buried. Not all love stays gentle. And Hollowmere... never lets go of what it claims. If you love stories that wrap around your chest, pull you into the darkness, and refuse to let you look away - this one is waiting for you.

Four girls. They became friends without remembering how it started. No first meeting. No clear beginning. Just a bond that feels older than memory. They laugh like nothing is wrong. They pretend everything is normal. But strange things follow them. Mirrors reflect something slightly different. Old photos change when no one is looking. Their names appear in places they've never been. It doesn't make sense. They feel connected - not just to each other, but to something watching...waiting. And the deeper the mystery grows, the clearer one truth becomes: This was never an accident. There is only one reason the unexplainable keeps happening. One hidden past tying them together. One secret that demands something in return. A sacrifice. But no one knows what must be given. And no one knows who will have to give it. The question is no longer what are they? It's- What are they willing to lose?

Three lives. Three bloodlines. One dark inheritance. In Book One: A Halo in the Ashes, a teenage girl named Olivia arrives at an ancient boarding school in Italy-where shadows speak, silence bleeds, and something not quite human is watching.

In Book Two: Beneath the Crimson Veil, Emily Gidez dreams of home, but sleep delivers nightmares-and a masked killer who walks among them. When the veil between the living and the damned thins, the line between victim and vessel begins to blur. In Book Three: A Throne of Quiet Ruin, Akana, daughter of a guarded noble household, meets a stranger who claims to know her soul. As plague and darkness devour the land, she must uncover the truth of her bloodline-and the beast prince drawn to it-before love becomes the knife that ends her. Tied by prophecy. Bound by silence. Each girl must face the legacy she never asked for- and the monsters that wait in the hollow things they leave behind. Enter a world of gothic dread, cursed romance, and haunting fate. This is A Symphony of Hollow Things.

The sea gives him back - but not whole. Cassian wakes on the shore stripped of memory, with no past and no understanding of how he came to be there.

It calls to him, insistent, knowing.
 The town whispers about him, as if he's someone who doesn't belong. As unease grows and questions surface, Cassian begins to wonder if the problem isn't the place at all - but himself. Saltwater Skin is a slow-burn tale of love, loss, and what hides beneath the surface. Updates every Friday evening (20:00 / 8 PM CET).

Lucas remembers everything. Every moment. Every promise. The Note. And the brutal reason why he can never speak of it again. After the accident, he chose silence over confession, carrying the weight of a love he can't afford to rekindle. Protecting Chloe has always come first - even if it means standing right beside her, unseen by the version of her that no longer remembers what they were. Chloe can't remember him. Not his name. Not their story. Not the way he used to look at her like she was everything. But something in his presence feels familiar. Safe. Warm. And as they find themselves drawn together once more, she begins to fall for him all over again - without realising it's the second time her heart has chosen him. In a world where the past hides behind silence and the future is too fragile to trust... Can love still find its way back? "You forgot me once. I just hope... You never remember how much it broke me."

After the rain-slicked highway and the screeching tires that took her husband's life, Maya Sebastian flees to the secluded provincial town of Sombra. She seeks the kind of silence that only the deep province can provide. She expects to mourn in peace. She doesn't expect the letters. They arrive in her kitchen, tucked into old books, and pinned to her door. Hand-written, heartbreakingly familiar, and signed by Thomas-the man she buried months ago. He's watching her. He's protecting her. And he is terrified of the only person in Sombra who actually looks Maya in the eye: a charming stranger named Elias Santos. But Sombra is a town built on secrets and long shadows. As the letters from Thomas grow more possessive and Elias's own past begins to unravel, Maya realizes that her "peaceful" retreat is a gilded cage. Why does Elias hide his true identity as an Alcaraz? Why do the locals treat her like a memory? And how can a dead man know exactly what Maya is thinking? In the town of Sombra, the line between the living and the dead is as thin as paper. And for Maya, the truth might be the most haunting thing of all.

The sweeping sequel to Whispers of Ash and Bloom In a land where vines remember, and the soil sings in silence, peace is never truly quiet. After planting the Heartseed and restoring balance to the vineyard, Elena Moretti believes her legacy and her sister's long shadow have finally come to rest. But when a mysterious child emerges from the mist, born not of flesh but of forgotten intentions, the fragile harmony begins to fray. The Hollow Heir brings more than riddles; they bring a revelation: something ancient still sleeps beneath the vineyard, older than pact, older than bloom, and it's waking up hungry. As Elena navigates rising tensions within the Rootwarden Council, cryptic visions, and a land that seems to listen too closely, she must journey into buried memories, forbidden magic, and the ghost of her twin's final spell. What she finds is a choice that could unmake the very balance she fought so hard to restore.

"Afraid of me? Why are you so afraid, princess?" He placed his hand on the wall next to her head, effectively trapping her between his body and the cold stone.

It was like he took advantage of her daze, closing the remaining gap and crushing his lips against hers. _________________ In a corrupted world full of superficial and greedy people, in a world driven by lust and desire, Regan's thoughts and actions are alien to most.

At minsan... ang pinakamahalaga, siya ring pinakamahirap paniwalaan.

Years after their childhood bond faded into distance, she carries her parchment through days shaped by duty, care, and silence.

As seasons change and memories surface uninvited, Lila reflects on love that did not end in tragedy, but in quiet separation.
