She died exactly as she lived - convinced that it was all someone else's fault, never hers. "Your pyramid scheme ruined the lives of thousands of people!" the thug screamed, brandishing the knife furiously. "Thousands? Only thousands? I thought it was more." She furrowed her brow, genuinely disappointed. "My accountants told me tens of thousands. I'll have to have a word with them. They inflated the statistics." The knife slid between her ribs, and everything went dark. And then she woke in silk sheets, in a body that wasn't hers. From the mirror, the face of Barbara Hron stared back at her. "Holy crap. Someone here really went overboard with the cosplay." And in the bushes beneath the window lurked he - Croy Korman, the main character of the book, a Nevite who in two days was meant to drive a hook into her chest while the crowd was meant to applaud. "I won't beg for mercy. In two days I'm supposed to die in the Ring anyway. If I have to die, at least let it be in the spotlight. Imagine my funeral: the last person to touch me would be a guy who hasn't washed in a month. If your stench transfers to me, no one will even cry at the wake. They'll just fan themselves with handkerchiefs and ask if the coffin is sealed. And now sit down. You'll be clean, even if it's the last thing I do." Available in English and Polish.

In the shadowy corridors of Ravens Hollow High, 17-year-old Ethan Voss crafts a dangerous obsession with Lily Mercer, the new girl whose light threatens his simmering darkness. What begins as calculated manipulation-gaslighting, sabotage, and cryptic threats-spirals into a sinister game as Ethan evolves from troubled teen to "The Crimson Phantom," a criminal prodigy leaving blood-soaked puzzles for Interpol across continents. But Lily, surviving his psychological warfare, refuses to be a victim: armed with fragmented evidence and an uneasy alliance with Ethan's guilt-ridden best friend Noah and jaded Detective Maria Reyes, she turns hunter, tracing his trail from Tokyo's neon underworld to Europe's elite crime syndicates. As Ethan's empire grows, so does his fixation on Lily, blurring love and vengeance-until their final showdown forces him to choose: destroy her to secure his legacy, or let her expose the broken boy beneath the monster. How far will obsession go when the line between savior and villain vanishes?

Waking up inside her fifteen-year-old body with the fully intact mind of a seasoned tech veteran, she doesn't panic, she doesn't cry, and she has absolutely no interest in high school drama. Looking at her cracked smartphone screen, she simply sees a blank canvas. To her classmates and teachers, she is just the quiet girl sitting at a wooden desk in a humid coaching center. But as her fingers hit the keyboard under the cover of night, a different person entirely wakes up. She isn't looking to change the world-she is just quietly rewriting the rules of her own existence. And this time, she intends to experience everything she missed out on the first time around, including a connection she never thought she'd find."

Inside himself. After the death of his mother shatters his world, Aditya begins to see humanity differently.

Ayesa, the girl who loves him, refuses to believe the boy she knows could become someone dangerous.

The death was ruled a suicide. Too clean. Too fast. Too final. Shadow notices the details no one questions-the identical language, the perfect order, the absence of doubt. These people didn't choose to die. They were processed. As Shadow tracks the pattern, the system reacts. Files lock. Oversight activates. A man dies minutes after Shadow walks away. That's when he understands the truth: The system doesn't investigate problems. It removes them. Shadow: Anomaly is a slow-burn psychological thriller about institutional violence, invisible authority, and the danger of seeing too clearly. When silence becomes policy and order replaces truth, the anomaly isn't the one who kills. It's the one who refuses to stop looking.
