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.

I've Got You
Two centuries ago, under the cursed glow of the violet moon, vampires lost all sense of rhyme or reason-and committed atrocities that still echo through time. On that fateful night, Frate lost someone he loved dearly, a loss that hardened his heart and bound him to a promise he's never spoken aloud. Now, two hundred years later, a bright and curious young woman named 'Amira dreams of attending a study abroad program in the mysterious land of Transylvania. Her mother is vehemently against it, sensing dangers she can't explain. But when Frate meets 'Amira, something stirs within him-something ancient and protective. Against all odds, he sponsors her journey and secures a job overseeing her stay. But what begins as a simple gesture soon unravels into something far more complex. Shadows from the past awaken. Secrets buried deep claw their way to the surface. And in the tangled web of love, betrayal, jealousy, war, and vengeance, Frate finds himself torn between the duty to protect and a haunting truth he can no longer outrun. This is not just a story of guardianship. This is a story of the violet moon-and the girl who may be the key to everything.Lengkap

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.

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.
