Lyra LeVane comes from a long line of Guardians. Her family has been protecting the Mystical Gates for centuries, preventing the ravenous Demons, that dwell in the world beyond, from entering our realm.
By day, she is just an average, school going girl. By night, she is a Guardian apprentice.
In spite of her best efforts, however, all hell breaks loose on the day of her initiation as a full-fledged Guardian- when she's expected to fight a real Demon.
For the first time in history, the Guardians have vanished without a trace.
Sensing weakness, the Demons have started to rally around an unknown evil in a plot to seize the world.
Guardian or not, Lyra has vowed to stop them. The problem? She has no idea how.

Wake of Time - Time belongs to Us
Time is fracturing. History is vanishing. And the future is running out. In the year 2147, Lyra Blackwood is the Chrona-the sole guardian of the space-time continuum. Her duty is to keep history intact, but when a chilling message arrives from the past, everything changes. In 1899 London, key historical figures are disappearing. Wilhelm II of Prussia has been assassinated decades before his time, and the murders are accelerating. If the timeline continues to unravel, the past will collide with the future, destroying everything. Lyra must travel back to a world of gaslit streets and hidden agendas to uncover who-or what-is rewriting history. Her only ally is Alistair Warden, the enigmatic Aether, stranded without the technology he needs to fight back. But even he may be hiding more than he reveals. Time is no longer on their side. As the clock ticks down, Lyra must face a dangerous truth: to save the future, she may have to break the very rules she was sworn to protect. The past can't be rewritten. Or can it?
Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
Inhuman
Lyra-known to the world only as Ray-is a shadowed enigma, a voice that captivates millions without revealing her face or her life. But behind the music lies a shattered world. When she returns home, her powerful mafia parents are slaughtered in cold blood, leaving her vulnerable and alone. Kidnapped and sold into the darkest corners of the underworld, Lyra's hope fades-until her estranged grandmother, a woman who despises her, pulls her from the abyss. Three years later, scarred and haunted, Lyra's fragile existence is shattered again. At school, she witnesses something terrifying: a boy with otherworldly power rips the soul from their music teacher. He's dangerous, cold, and strangely drawn to her-but Lyra's hatred burns hotter. Desperation drives her to forge a dark contract-trading her freedom for his supernatural strength-to hunt down her parents' killer and uncover why she was left alive that night. But the deeper they dig, the more twisted secrets unravel. Enemies long hidden rise from the shadows, and the darkness chasing them grows relentless. Bound by fate, trust, and a fierce, forbidden attraction, Lyra and the boy teeter on the edge of salvation and destruction. His whispered promise chills her to the bone: "You are mine... forever." Will Lyra survive the deadly games of the underworld? Can she uncover the truth before it consumes her? And will the love born from pain be their salvation-or their doom? Dive into a haunting tale of vengeance, forbidden desire, and a bond that defies the darkness itself.
