Good morning, Westridge. You know me. You know them. For years we've kept to our sides. The Crown Council. The Velvet 5. But this year, the administration got bored. So they threw us together. One summit. Ten egos. Infinite drama. Watch Aarav Mehta try not to fall for his rival. Watch Isabella Cruz try not to need him. Watch 10 perfect kids realize they're all a little broken. Spotted: Mehta and Cruz in the art room at 2am. Spotted: The 10 of us on the roof, and no one's fighting. This isn't about winning anymore. This is about being real. And that's the scariest thing of all. XOXO, Westridge

In the treacherous golden corridors of an imperial palace, fifteen-year-old Amani, a Black concubine from the Western Borderlands, arrived carrying the last thing her mother touched before she died resisting the men who came to take her. Gifted to Crown Prince Wei Zhenting as a diplomatic offering, she was cataloged before she was named and reduced to inventory before she was seen as a person. In a court where survival demanded not beauty but cunning, she learned quickly that everyone she grew to love was in danger precisely because she loved them. Wei Zhenting, seventeen and carved from ice and duty, prepared for his ascension to the Dragon Throne. At the same time, bound to Princess Liu Feiyan, his sixteen-year-old wife, whose elegance concealed both ruthless intelligence and blood already on her hands. As festivals glittered with false cheer and every smile concealed a dagger, Amani navigated treacherous alliances, deadly rivalries, and the slow, dangerous thaw of a prince who once, at her lowest moment, calculated her survival as a political question rather than a human one. The palace did not break Amani. It changed her. And by the time the Emperor died and the Dragon Throne was reborn, she did not entirely recognize the woman looking back at her from the mirror. Across this complete saga, forbidden desire collided with imperial duty, births reshaped destinies, and one foreign woman's quiet strength proved more powerful than the throne itself.

A Merlin story retelling. This is the story of Estelle before she was known as Merlin. Born a noble lady of a house that no longer exists, Estelle carries the weight of a dark curse that has condemned her to an immortal life. After killing the mad king alongside her father, she is separated from him and presumed dead. For a thousand years, she wanders the world alone, carrying the burden of her past. Estelle has never been gifted with the sight or the ability to see the future. Instead, a mysterious presence speaks to her from within her mind, guiding her toward a destiny she does not yet understand. Her quest eventually leads her, a thousand years later, to a young boy with untapped powers. She becomes his mentor, and together, they journey across the lands of Camelot, facing dangers, uncovering forgotten magic, and slowly discovering the truth behind their destinies. Their ultimate goal is to make it beyond the wall and into Albion, where they must reach a mysterious realm known as beyond the veil. There, an ancient sword awaits, destined to be reunited with its true king.

At 22, she falls in love believing she has finally found someone who will choose her and stay. But over the next six years, love becomes a complicated cycle of affection, betrayal, heartbreak, forgiveness, pregnancy, loss and second chances. As she keeps holding on to him, she slowly loses pieces of herself-until life forces her to discover that she can be a woman, a mother and her own person outside of the relationship.

Five roommates. A fresh start. And a secret that should have stayed in the dark. Starting her degree in Communication Design, Maja thinks everything should finally fall into place. A new city, a new shared apartment, a life of her own at last. Except her boyfriend Ben seems to have a very clear idea of what that new life should look like, and Maja is beginning to realize just how little room there is in it for the life she actually wants. Luckily, her new roommates are the complete opposite of sensible and predictable. And then there's Leo. Quiet, tattooed, and usually awake when everyone else has long since gone to sleep. Their first encounter nearly ends with a glass bottle against his head, their second with the realization that they should probably stay out of each other's way. Which turns out to be surprisingly difficult when you share a kitchen, a hallway, and far too many sleepless nights. While Maja slowly rediscovers who she wants to be between college and dance, Leo has been living between different worlds for a long time. By day, he makes a living with his art. At night, he disappears. Where he goes, no one knows. And the closer Maja gets to him, the clearer it becomes that beneath all those colors lies something Leo never talks about. Some stories are painted on walls. Others are buried behind them. Color and Ashes is a New Adult novel about art and movement, love and dependency, about the things we hide from others and the things we can't outrun ourselves.

​For eighteen-year-old Minji, waking up every morning feels like pushing a boulder uphill. Suffocating under the heavy, silent fog of depression and anxiety, she feels entirely invisible to the world-and she is running out of time to find an escape. ​With her life at a dead end, she holds two drastically different futures in her hands: a glossy recruitment brochure for the United States Marine Corps, promising the rigid structure and intense discipline to force her to be strong, and a crumpled printout for an open K-pop audition in Seoul, a final, desperate gamble on her lifelong passion for music. ​Driven by desperation, Minji boards a one-way flight to South Korea. But the cutthroat idol trainee system is brutal, and after a soul-crushing rejection, she finds herself breaking down in the pouring rain at Han River Park. Armed with nothing left to lose, she lets her pain bleed into a raw, heartbreaking melody. ​She thinks she's singing to the empty night. Instead, she is overheard by Bang Chan and Han of global superstars Stray Kids. ​Recognizing the cry of a kindred spirit who is drowning in the exact same waters they survived, the members of Stray Kids extend a lifeline. Pulling her into the sanctuary of their studio, they offer her something neither a military uniform nor a standard K-pop contract can provide: a safe place to heal, a brotherhood to carry the weight, and the tools to turn her deepest scars into an unyielding armor. ​"That wasn't K-pop. That was a war cry. You're talking about joining the military, but Minji, you're already fighting. You're just doing it internally."

It's about never giving up on each other.

A lover of romance movies and sweet words on paper but a skeptic of anything real, Juliet Nguyen was a walking contradiction. Going into high school, the last thing she wanted was a relationship with some twat-waffle who probably lived and breathed for drugs and alcohol (which is harder to avoid than it sounds, believe it or not). Even worse, she couldn't fathom the idea of actually falling in love with someone only for it to inevitably end in catastrophic failure. But what does a then high school freshman really know about love and heartbreak? Turns out, all it took was one look at his bacon costume during sixth period Spanish class to start learning.
