Alexander didn't cheat. He just gave someone else his attention, his laughter, and the smiles that used to belong to his wife. And she watched him drift, not to another woman's bed, but to her presence. Her laugh. The way she made him feel seen in a room full of people. Everything he found in someone else - Zara had been giving him all along. Eight years of marriage. One little boy who loved them both. And Zara standing in the middle of it all - wondering when she became the woman he stopped choosing. She warned him. Three times. The first - he dismissed her. The second - he called her jealous. The third - he called her insecure. So she stopped warning him altogether. And stopped waiting. Love wasn't enough... and now it might be too late.

Offered as a consolation prize, she expects only disappointment in a loveless union. Yet, the journey of marriage becomes an unexpected path to self-discovery. The Color Of My Own Sky is a story of the invisible bruises that shape a soul, and the battle to finally find the courage to paint your own brilliant horizon. Nov. 3 ©deey_jah

The heavens tremble. Jiang Feng, the youngest Dark Sovereign, has defied destiny, mastering the laws of Darkness, Time, and Space. Yet, his ascent has only just begun. With a second soul - that of the ancient Aevium race - stirring within him, Jiang Feng embodies a power previously unimaginable, marked by the distinctive white locs of his otherworldly heritage.

As he navigates treacherous celestial politics and confronts ancient forces, he must embrace the full extent of his dual nature.

Lily Parker was born from two powerful bloodlines- the Gemini Coven... and the last surviving heir of the Melvraux witches. A siphoner as a father and an elemental witch as a mother. Raised in the shadows by Katherine Pierce, Lily became her mirror: sharp-tongued, untrusting, dangerous, and taught to always put herself first. Her magic-Veiled, elemental, and tied to an ancient forest spirit-has kept her alive, hidden, and alone. But when a vivid dream sends a warning pulsing through her blood, Lily does the one thing Katherine always forbade: She goes to Mystic Falls. What begins as a mission to save her mother-figure turns into something far more complicated. The moment she steps into town, old magic stirs, secrets unravel, and the past she was never meant to know begins hunting her down. And it all starts when Lily crosses paths with the Salvatore brothers, men tied to her mother's death. And she learns that there is more than what can meet the eyes. OC x OC

A realm on the brink of war. A bond that threatens to consume them both. Cora's life takes a dangerous turn when she's thrust into a world of secrets and magic. Mistaken for a fae, her blood is thought to hold the power to restore balance to a crumbling realm. The first thing she learns when she's captured: never trust a dragon. Ash has always known what it means to be feared. He comes from the Third Kingdom, the only realm where dragons remain awake inside their bonded. Considered little better than beasts, the people of the Third live in isolation, training to control the instincts and will of the creature that lives inside them. Alone in the Outlands, he never expected to find a fae. Especially not one like her. When her cry shatters the forest, he understands the instinct that drives him to her side. What he does not anticipate is how fiercely he will have to fight the beast that already sees her as its own.

Because the longer they travel together, the harder it becomes to tell where Ash ends and the dragon begins.

Elizabeth was eighteen, fearless, and already planning her future. A gifted athlete, beloved by her classmates, and grounded in faith, she lived her life in motion-on the soccer field, in the cheer gym, and toward college dreams that felt certain and close. Until one ordinary practice changed everything. After a devastating fall reveals an unexpected diagnosis, Elizabeth is forced to confront a reality she never imagined: cancer. As her world narrows to hospital rooms, treatment schedules, and long stretches of waiting, she must learn how to live without the body she once trusted-and how to hope without guarantees. Don't Cry for Me is a deeply emotional, faith-centered novel about endurance, love, and the quiet courage it takes to keep showing up. Through friendships tested, faith refined, and the promise of modern medicine and clinical trials, Elizabeth discovers that strength isn't always loud-and miracles don't always arrive the way we expect. This is not a story about giving up. It's a story about staying. Heartbreaking, hopeful, and profoundly human, Don't Cry for Me is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the kind of love that walks beside us when answers are uncertain.
