    Ellie just wanted a cheap room in a half‑decent flat. What she got was a ghost with opinions. Theo has been dead for years, but that hasn't stopped him from haunting the spare room - or from developing a very inconvenient attachment to the living girl who moves in. He's sarcastic, restless, and far too human for someone who can walk through walls. Ellie shouldn't talk to him. She definitely shouldn't laugh with him. And she absolutely shouldn't start caring about a man she can't touch. But the longer they share a home, the more the boundaries blur: between haunting and companionship, between grief and hope, between a life paused and a life still unfolding. When Ellie uncovers the truth about Theo's death - and the reason he's still here - she has to decide whether helping him move on means losing him forever. A warm, aching, paranormal love story about connection, unfinished business, and the one person who sees you even when no one else can. ---

    I do not know how I was fixed as a villain in the collective memory and became a cautionary tale against greedy women, when all my life I wanted to be remembered as a kind and compassionate maiden. All I wanted was for people to love me and feel sympathy by understanding my story. I wanted to be loved more than to be alive. I wanted to be erased from history rather than be remembered as a callous monster. I admit I have done mistakes. I admit I am envious, manipulative and insecure, flaws a heroine should never carry. Yet there is compassion, kindness, goodness inside of me, which nobody, not even Cinderella, can deny and you ought to know them, before judging me. Nevertheless, I know my greatest fault. It is being born ugly. I would have been much kinder if I was beautiful. This vice of mine stacked all the cards against me and caused my downfall. After all, beauty is a woman's greatest weapon, and I was sent to war without any protection. My mother would have been kinder to me. I would have been more popular with the girls my age. My husband would have loved me from the first sight if I was beautiful. My daughters would have been happier if I had given them the gift of beauty than my good intentions. Either way, as a last service, I leave this book to you. Judge if you like, but learn from my mistakes.

    "In high school, you're taught that every problem has an answer. In the real world, some problems only have a body count." Lyon is a genius who sees the world in variables and trajectories. Jeremy is a fearless weapon who doesn't know the meaning of the word 'stop.' Violet is the quiet, balanced girl whose smile hides a secret no one saw coming. They spent their final year of high school being pushed around, but they weren't just taking hits-they were taking notes. They called it the Masterpiece: a cold, calculated plan to dismantle the school's most feared gang, expose the truth about Sarah Thompson, and walk away into a normal life. They thought the Farewell Party at the Westfield Palace would be their final victory lap. A clean break from the chaos. They were dead wrong. When the sirens fade and the "Masterpiece" spirals into a brutal, high-stakes brawl, the trio realizes they've accidentally stepped into a much deadlier food chain. The bullies were just the bottom tier. Beyond the school gates lies a world where identities are forged in fire and loyalty is bought with blood. Now, trapped in a game where the rules have suddenly changed, Lyon and Jeremy must decide: are they still just students, or have they already become the monsters they were trying to fight?

Now, reborn through pain and driven by vengeance, Wulfric escapes to the shadows of the wild. With a growing pack and a power that defies both sorcery and steel, he rises-not as prey, but as predator. This is not a tale of a hero. It's the beginning of a reckoning.

    ♫Synopsis♫ "W-what do you want?" I squeaked, horrified at the scene that rested in front of my eyes. I'd found myself backed up against the wall in my flurry to leave. "Come here." His husky voice resounded throughout the chambers, beckoning me to obey. My body seemed to move on its own as one leg that was planted on the ground had lifted itself at his words. Internally, I screamed, knowing what fate I'd assume as soon as I was within his grasp. Lifting my chin, he inspected every inch of my face as I'd felt sweat perspire. Then his lips suddenly curled into a smirk, his icy blue eyes turning into silver ones. _______ Pure blooded Deosdorians, a sacred race of enchantresses from the Dansuna region have been long dead to the public eye- deemed extinct, ever since the Outlandish invasion where the neglected Gods demanded superiority, in fact, which was eighteen years ago. These gods included the lower class gods, secluded gods, fallen gods, plane overseers, and the two gods of chaos who'd been scorned by the other races for centuries. Al Dia, the last pure blooded Deosdorian as far as she's concerned, is sheltered by her adoptive family: a household of humans. None of the powers a Deosdorian should possess have been awakened, and the Prince, a God of chaos, is getting restless. Tradition states that he should've found a wife once he's completed his thousand tasks list, else the Royal games shall begin with one female holding the title of the Goddess of chaos. Truth is, his playboy pride can't persuade him to find one. Fresh blood, secrets, love, betrayal, lies and truth... All become uncovered once the games begin, with Al Dia either wishing she'd come first place, which will never be easy, or resign her fate to one packaged with death. Trust me, the prince's heart is like a fortress; 'til the queen comes, all the weapons are useless.
