[[ The first book of the rewrite is out~ Check it out on my page! ]]
Cairo is a desert country dominated by fire magic. The Government is considered corrupt, the people are unhappy, and a rebellion is stirring in the depths that's set on shaking the country to its core.
Living with the citizens are creatures called Kleptos--card spirits who control powerful magic. Among them is the Fire Kleptos, Aerie. Her Pyrroh is the Fire Mage, Cairo, the boy genius named after the country. Tagging along with them is their adventure-seeking friend, Cane.
Aerie can't remember her past. There's something about her that's different, and if there's one thing for sure, it's that she's no ordinary Kleptos.
Cane wants truth and justice to prevail. The first step is getting through to the Government, but it's torn apart just like the country.
Cairo is helping Aerie gain her memories. While he travels around the country in search of clues, he's thrown right into the middle of all the trouble.
But Aerie might just be the key to something much larger than anyone could have imagined. As Cairo continues to search for her memories, a past full of secrets is brought to life that might just change the course of history.

Daffodils and Hyacinths (Book 3 of the Forgotten Truths Series)
"One small incident can ruin or change a person's life - Now imagine a storm," Dusty winds spit at Sun'Tribe and her people. Cramped, multiple families are forced to huddle in one of the ruins; the only remaining proof of the original four tribes that used to stand. "Unifying us all is what should make us less insecure about ourselves, but our differences are what makes each one of us unique; special," In Sun'Tribe, everyone is the same. No traditions, no religion, no abilities, no culture, not even the way someone dresses themselves can be different. Dull, brown clothes, with hair cut down and pulled back in a simple manner. Difference is only for their Leader. The supreme ruler who never goes hungry, and lives in a large palace just for herself. It isn't until two lowly commoners take in the last of the outcasts, that their world sees a future of life again. ~*~ Written by the beas-TEAS, @EChO11111111111 (old acc: Echo__IsNoFurry) and @Ripplestream11 ; also credit to our friend who is not comfortable sharing her name (As of right now, Echo's account isn't working, AGAIN, so check both for updates) You don't have to read the other previous two books of this series to understand this book. "Forgotten Truths" is more of a backstory-based book, for the old tribes and some of the characters, which takes place a little over a decade before "Daffodils and Hyacinths", and the main details to understand this book are in "The Place where Dreams Fade," but if you're new, you should be caught up after reading 'TRIBES AND RULERS' and the Prologue. Updates might be a little irregular depending on our schedule We all hope you choose to give "Daffodils and Hyacinths" a go! NOTE: This book is not a fanfic, nor does it have any relation to "The Last Airbender" or "Legends of Korra". We definitely do see how it can be related to that, but we did not intend for that to be the outcome. Thank you!Complete

In the high-tech, magic-touched kingdom of **Aurelia**, every royal is born into the spotlight - except one. **Princess Elara Vale**, the youngest child of the royal family, was hidden from the world after a prophecy declared she would "awaken what was lost." To keep her safe, her parents erased her existence from public records. She grew up surrounded by love from her siblings but always behind walls, longing to see the world for herself. When her secret is accidentally leaked, Elara runs away - not in rebellion, but in search of freedom, identity, and purpose. In the neon city of **Ravenport**, she meets **Kael Arden**, a quiet mechanic with no memory of his childhood and a strange amulet that glows in her presence. As they form a bond, they're joined by a group of unexpected friends - a hacker, a healer, and a street magician - each searching for their own truth. Together, they discover that Kael is the lost prince of the long-vanished Shadow Realm, kidnapped at birth, and that the prophecy ties both of them to the future of their worlds. Through their journey, Elara learns what it means to live beyond a title. Kael learns what it means to belong. And their friends - ordinary people with extraordinary hearts - become the family they choose. It's a story about **finding friendship, courage, and self-worth** in a world that often defines you by what you were born to be - not who you choose to become.

The Art of Almost Loving You
"Some loves are written in the margins. Ours was scribbled between the lines-messy, unspoken, and impossible to erase." Riya Sharma knows how to love-fiercely, foolishly, and with her whole heart. But when her high school crush rejects her, she retreats into the pages of dark romance novels, where love is all-consuming and endings are never simple. Reality, however, is less poetic... until Aarav Malhotra, the boy who once looked at her like she hung the stars, walks back into her life. Cold, brilliant, and ruthlessly logical, Aarav has always been an enigma. In school, he spoke to her in a voice softer than anyone else's, listened to her rants about books like they were sacred texts, and left sketches of her in his notebooks-though she never knew. But when Riya's indirect confession at their farewell party vanished into silence, she assumed he didn't care. Years later, fate intervenes. Riya, now an aspiring army doctor, crosses paths with Aarav-a prodigious engineer-during a high-stakes medical-tech campaign. The boy who built walls around his heart is now a man who builds bridges. The girl who wrote poetry about love now stitches wounds on battlefields. And the electricity between them? It never dimmed. As they navigate tangled pasts and fragile new beginnings, Riya and Aarav must confront the words they never said and the choices that tore them apart. But this time, walking away isn't an option-not when their love story might be the one worth fighting for.
