In every heart, there is a garden - some beautiful, some poisonous, some spoiled, some dying - each one reflecting the kaleidoscope and individualistic nature of humans.
Bucharest, Romania is a microcosm of such phenomena.
Gardens of Bucharest chronicles the wayward lives of magicians Sebastian Ardelean, a boy wishing to disappear and living a quiet life, and Esma Peker, a girl with a headstrong heart and lofty ambitions. Despite their differing personalities, their fates are entwined and they discover that the last farewell between them will be found on Death's Door.
Magic is both the string and the scissor defining their relationship. It is magic that brought them together for thirteen years, magic that will break them apart for seven years, but it will be a murder that will bring them back again.

The Beautiful Man
In the frozen heart of Romania, where snow silences even prayer, Evangelina flees the velvet cage of her cruel twin brother, Elias, and the manor that reeks of roses and decay. Her escape leads her into the path of Vladimir-a pale, beautiful creature carved from moonlight and sin, whose every step bleeds crimson roses into the snow. Bound by hunger, vengeance, and forbidden desire, their fates entwine beneath the gaze of a merciless winter. As Vladimir's darkness tempts her with deliverance and damnation alike, Evangelina must decide whether salvation lies in fleeing him or in surrendering completely. A tale of forbidden love and immortal ruin, The Beautiful Man is a symphony of blood, desire, and devotion where even monsters learn to ache, and love itself becomes the most exquisite curse.

Two hands. Two halves of a soul that make a whole. Morgan has always felt the abscence of something she could never name. After her father's death, Morgan becomes the only thing holding her life together-her grief, her anger, and her younger sister, Mia. When her sister insists on using an Ouija Board to contact their father, Morgan agrees. What's the harm in saying goodbye and telling him exactly how she feels? But something does answer. Not their father. Something older. Ozias Dravenkov. The first demon. And he's been waiting centuries for her. As the barrier between the living and the dead begins to crack, Morgan is pulled into a war over who controls souls, power, and the fate of the afterlife itself. While some fight to preserve the existing order, Ozias seeks to tear it down, no matter how many lives it costs. Caught between two lovers, two truths, and two futures, Morgan must decide who she trusts and what she is willing to sacrifice to keep the ones she loves safe. Yet there's one rule older than heaven and hell: NEVER BARGAIN WITH THE DEAD. They always collect.
