Infinite is the beginning of an extraordinary love story born from fate's quiet design. In the year 2001, in the small English village of Kingsteignton, lives James Waters, a young man who carries eternity like a hidden scar. He is known as an Infinity - one cursed to die, return, and remember every life that came before. To the world, he is ordinary. To himself, he is a library of lifetimes, each memory whispering warnings of dangers yet to come. Haunted by knowledge no one else possesses, James searches for answers in the shadows of the paranormal. He discovers that modern-day necromancers are rising, tampering with forces they barely understand, threatening the fragile future of humankind. Then fate intervenes. Laura Speed enters his life in a moment that feels both accidental and inevitable. Beautiful, guarded, and carrying secrets of her own, she recognizes something in James that mirrors her own hidden truths. Their meeting is brief, electric, and impossible to ignore. Two solitary souls, each standing on the edge of worlds unseen, suddenly find themselves no longer alone. As danger closes in and powerful systems move to silence those who do not fit their design, James and Laura are forced together. What begins as survival becomes partnership. What begins as curiosity becomes devotion. And what begins as fate becomes choice. Together they challenge forces that see them as expendable. Together they discover that love, when forged through lifetimes and tested by darkness, is not fragile - it is infinite. Their journey will not only reshape their world, but ripple across the universe itself. This is where their story begins.

Ethan Vale escaped the asylum with no money, no ID, and no idea how normal people were supposed to survive. So he stopped trying to be normal. Now he sells omens, fake rituals, ghost consultations, bad-luck readings, and spiritual memberships to anyone desperate enough to pay. Rich collectors. Shady antique dealers. Haunted property owners. College kids. Criminals. People with secrets. Most of it is nonsense. Probably. Because sometimes Ethan says something impossible, and then it happens. Sometimes he sees red before disaster strikes. Sometimes the ghosts he invents leave evidence behind. He is a con artist. He is a survivor. He is a walking problem with a price list. And in a city full of frauds, killers, believers, and worse things hiding behind money, Ethan Vale may be the only madman worth hiring.

Gwen Destiny has always felt like she didn't belong-but she never imagined it was because she wasn't fully human.

Because the deeper she's pulled into this world, the clearer it becomes: nothing is what it seems. Packed with mystery, high-stakes action, and a slow-burning edge of romance, No Such Luck will keep you guessing until the very end-and make it impossible to put down.

My mother was the most careful woman I have ever known. She moved us four times before I turned ten. She never let me stay out past dark alone. She taught me to dim my power in public, to never draw attention, to keep my head down and my eyes forward. She died with one word on her lips. Valdris. The most powerful noble family in Vael'Dara. Old money, old magic, old secrets - and apparently, a reason to send four armed men to a fourth-floor apartment in the New District to look for me. Now Lord Valdris himself has shown up at my mother's funeral, stepping out of a vehicle that costs more than everything she ever owned, looking at me like I'm something he misplaced a long time ago. I don't know what my mother knew. I don't know why she ran. I don't know what I am to these people or what they want from me. But I have her last word. And I have time. And I have a power nobody has been able to classify yet. That's enough to start. ASHA: THE HOLLOW CROWN is an urban fantasy novel about blood, power, and the cost of a truth buried long enough to kill for.
