    At the beginning of a new school year, newly transferred student John Rosefield finds himself entangled in encounters that defy explanation. As John settles into his new school, he crosses paths with people burdened by forgotten memories, lingering regrets, and mysteries that refuse to fade away. Alongside the friends he meets, John is drawn into stories that blur the line between the ordinary and the supernatural, forcing him to confront questions with no easy answers. With every encounter, John learns more about the people around him- and about himself. This is a character-driven supernatural drama about friendship, memory, regrets, and finding meaning in the connections we leave behind. [Note: New chapter releases in every weekends, so either Sunday or Saturday :D]

    It starts with a rustle in the hedges... and a gardener shocked into silence. When a girl senses something stalking her garden at dusk, fear is the only thing that makes sense. But as a shadowed figure lingers at the edges of her world - and her silent gardener leaves cryptic warnings - she follows the trail toward the sea and the ruins of a village long claimed by time. There, among broken walls and moonlit stones, she uncovers a past steeped in tragedy and threaded with her own forgotten story. Something is calling her back - something she once knew, something she once loved - if only she can remember what was lost. As the mysteries of then and now collide, she must choose: run from the unknown... or step toward the truth waiting in the dark. The Silent Gardener is a haunting, tender supernatural mystery about fear transcended by curiosity, danger that becomes connection, and a girl brave enough to follow the unknown into the place where she truly belongs.

    A dying Earth. A future built on escape. When Iris wakes on the planet Terra, she has no memory of how she arrived, only fragments of a life that may not belong to her. A son calls her "Mother." A man she cannot fully remember lingers in her thoughts like a wound she cannot locate. And beneath Terra's engineered paradise, something about survival feels wrong. Across collapsing Earth, long-haul space missions, and buried government records, lives begin to intertwine, echoing across time and distance in ways none of them fully understand. A woman trying to remember who she is. A man trying to save someone who may already be lost. A doctor who once tried to resist fate ... and failed. And a generation built on secrets never meant to survive. But some love stories do not end cleanly. They fracture. They echo across time. And when they return ... they do not come back the same.

    In the heart of an elegant ducal estate in Victorian England, Lady Adelaïde hides a dream that could destroy everything she has ever known: becoming a chocolatier. When Damien, a young aristocrat from Paris, arrives at the estate, an unexpected bond begins to form between them. But behind polished smiles and grand halls, the Beaumont family guards secrets buried for years-secrets Lady Adelaïde's mother will do anything to protect. As forbidden feelings, family loyalties, and long-hidden truths collide, Adelaïde must decide whether to follow the path chosen for her... or risk losing everything for a future that was never meant to be hers. Some secrets are sweeter than chocolate. Others leave a bitter taste that never fades.

    Anatha: The Unfinished Symphony Some people enter your life like a storm, not to destroy you, but to teach your soul a new rhythm. In the rain-soaked cities of Andhra Pradesh, a quiet violinist chasing impossible dreams meets a dancer who carries fire in her footsteps. Aravind and Siri are artists trying to survive in a world that values stability over passion. What begins as an unexpected connection through music and movement slowly becomes something deeper-something that feels endless. But love is not always defeated by betrayal. Sometimes, it is undone by timing, family, responsibilities, and the unbearable weight of growing up. As dreams collide with duty, they are forced to choose between the people they love and the lives they once imagined together. Years later, when fate quietly places them back in each other's orbit, one question remains: Can a love story still be beautiful, even if it never truly stays? A bittersweet tale of art, ambition, heartbreak, healing, and the kind of love that never fully leaves only changes its shape. Not every unfinished story is incomplete. Some simply continue in silence.

    Following his parents' choice, Ollie went to Orient Hill for college. On his first day at the university, which he officially called a bad day, he bumped into a guy, Finn, whom he dealt with an offensive attitude. Instead of being intimidated, Finn found Ollie's behavior amusing. That led Finn to go after Ollie and asked the latter to act as his friend in response to a challenge from his family. But sometimes, an act gets busted, sometimes it backfires and worse, it becomes real and the actors just don't know it......yet.

    Life was never okay. But then it got better just to get worse. But all in all, life was better. Or at least it was better than now. No rush of adrenaline or anything. It had some hiccups but that is life. And it's all about peaks and valleys. Now everything is still the same but feels very different. The voices and visions in intense hues. It just feels like an unceasing cycle of misery and woe. Travelling and paddling but getting nowhere. Stuck in a tornado of vague recollection of past which just keep going incessantly in round and round.

    My name is Peter Bana. I'm a writer, at least I was until.... I got hit by a pink, pig truck on its way to a farm. I wasn't the same after that. Never. The world isn't what you think it is.. it isn't as plain and as normal as you think it is. Hell, your mind can't fit in what it really is and It all unfolded before my very eyes, the truth of the world below. #newbookcover #newtitle
