The Compass of Nine, the relic for which Lulu made a deal with the ancient witch, Virmira Tanadall, is finally calibrated. It is time for Lulu to open the Garden of Starlight and find her long lost father. Which, naturally, means it is time for things to go horribly wrong. But when Lulu returns home, she finds it besieged by soldiers sent by Queen Eivør, another contender to the throne of Valdornne. She has sent a dark gift to the family home: the bloodied brooch given to Ori the day she left home. Lulu and Idelle must set their own quest aside to aid their Uncle Baloren, who leaves for the tattered homeland of the very empire he once destroyed. Their search for Ori will lead them deep into the Shadowlands, home to the Umbra, the King of Bones' loyal legion of monsters, where they will find themselves in the middle of a war for a mysterious place known only as the Sanctuary.
In a war of her own, Ori has spent the last four years helping to fight for the throne of Namera. Her conflict is nearly finished when word reaches her of an old evil about to wake in the Howling Abyss. The Colossus, an ancient adversary who emerges once every thirteen years, is waking and will bring untold devastation to Velara if he isn't stopped. Their only reprieve comes in the form of a woman inside the Abyss, whose powerful voice has momentarily lulled the Colossus into slumber. Her brother comes to petition her aid and will lead Ori and others deep into the heart of the Abyss, where Ori will learn more of the worlds that came before and the powerful savior of The Broken Song. Ori's power will be pushed to its limits as she fights alongside old friends and learns to trust new faces such as the mysterious healer named Zenn'a, whose past may just consume them all, and the Creator Himself, who wishes to prove, once and for all, that He can be trusted.

HER SHATTERED LIFE
⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅• She believed she was born to be broken. He had spent years searching for someone he had lost before he was old enough to understand what losing meant. And somewhere between them stood a man who had built an empire in the shadows, carrying his own darkness while becoming the light in hers. Isha Kapoor had spent years running from a life that had only ever taught her pain. She believed she knew who she was, where she came from, and why she had been left with nothing but scars. She was wrong. Avi Rajvansh had power, wealth, and a world that feared his name. But when Isha enters his life, the man who never lets anyone close finds himself willing to destroy everything to protect the girl who believes she is impossible to love. And then there is Dev Malhotra. For years, he has been searching for his missing little sister, the only family he has left. Fragments of a past that refuse to stay buried. Until his search leads him to a girl who has no idea that she may be the person he has been looking for all along. As buried secrets rise, old enemies return, and the truth begins to unravel, three shattered lives find themselves connected by a past none of them remember the same way. One girl who never knew where she belonged. One brother who never stopped looking for home. And one man who would turn the world upside down to keep her safe. She thinks she is the darkness. He sees her as the light of his life. But some truths don't just change the future. They rewrite everything you thought you knew about the past. ⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅• Tropes & Themes :--> ╰┈➤ Mafia & business rivalries ╰┈➤ Found family / Hidden Identity ╰┈➤ Long-lost sibling mystery ╰┈➤ Trauma, healing & love ╰┈➤ Slow-burn romance ╰┈➤ Dark secrets & hidden past ╰┈➤ Touch her and die ╰┈➤ Suspense

Chronicles of Eldoria
In the mystical land of Eldoria, five ancient kingdoms-Aurora, Terranova, Drakenfell, Lunaris, and Sylvanwood-are thrust into chaos when a malevolent force known as the Shadowveil awakens. The kingdoms have long been protected by powerful artifacts, each guarded by one of the royal families. However, when the Shadowveil corrupts Sylvanwood's artifact, the balance of power crumbles, threatening to plunge the entire world into darkness. Lyra, a young healer from Sylvanwood, discovers she possesses a mysterious connection to the ancient artifacts. Realizing that she might be the only one capable of purifying them, Lyra embarks on a perilous quest to unite the five artifacts and restore balance to Eldoria. Along the way, she is joined by a group of unlikely allies: Kael, a vengeful warrior from Drakenfell; Arianna, a prophetic princess from Aurora; Zane, a rogue mage from Lunaris; and Thorne, a noble knight from Terranova. As they journey through treacherous lands, facing ancient curses, and powerful enemies, the group's trust in one another is tested by hidden secrets and dark revelations. Kael is revealed to have a cursed connection to the Shadowveil, casting doubt on his loyalty. Arianna's true motive for joining the quest is unveiled-she seeks to change a prophecy that foretells her as the catalyst for the world's destruction, even if it means betraying her friends. Zane's ambition leads him to strike a deal with the Shadowveil, betraying the group for power before he realizes his mistake. The biggest twist comes when the group learns that the artifacts are not simply protective relics but pieces of a divine entity that once created the Shadowveil. The entity demands that one of them must sacrifice their humanity to contain the Shadowveil forever. Lyra, discovering her destiny as the reincarnation of the hero who first defeated the Shadowveil, makes the ultimate choice to merge with the entity, sealing the Shadowveil away but losing herself in the process.Lengkap

The Broken Song
Elusia Vale is the most fabulous adventurer, swordswoman, thief, and lover to ever grace Ishara, and she is always the first to say so. Her life has been filled with excitement and reckless abandon, but how long can she outrun the tempests she leaves in her wake? Just a girl when her father was sealed away in an untouchable realm, Lulu has devoted her life to finding a way to bring him back. Her obsession has taken her across the stars, journeying to every known world of Ishara with her best friend, Idelle, at her side. Never ones to pass up the opportunity for trouble, they have made a life out of journeying across the realms, using their skills to help those in need or, in Lulu's case, using stories of their adventures to woo beautiful women. Her quest has seen countless failures, but a new lead, an ancient relic known as the Compass of Nine, promises to reignite her hope. Yet, it is at that very moment when she is drawn into a conflict by her hated cousin, Orianna, a woman called Savior by The Path of Light. The upstart religion has gained a strong foothold within the world of Andavaran, an endlessly painful thorn in Lulu's side. When Orianna asks for her help to stop a sorceress of unfathomable power, Lulu must set aside her hatred to aid both her cousin and a city on the verge of religious civil war, all the while working with The Path, the very people she blames for her father's fate. Together with Idelle, Orianna, and a host of friends, Lulu must face her past and learn, sometimes, the Path you walk isn't always the one you choose.

The Aeon Below
the Aeon Below Deep beneath the frozen ribs of the mountain lies the Cave of the Dead, where light dies and the air itself hums with mourning. Those who enter rarely return sane...if they return at all. Desperate to escape the relatives bleeding her dry, Dahlia joins an expedition into its depths, hoping to earn enough money to buy her freedom. Instead, she reaches the cave's final chamber: a vast golden cathedral carved for forgotten gods, where a corpse stands vigil before a black monolith that thinks. He calls himself Caelus. Once a god, now fallen, Caelus has spent centuries bound as the barrier between the living world and the underworld. When Dahlia accidentally touches the Black Salt Stone that anchors him to his prison, she forges a tether between their minds. Now his voice follows her everywhere...ancient, mocking, impossible to silence. For the first time in hundreds of years, Caelus is no longer alone. For the first time in Dahlia's life, someone listens. But Caelus's interest in her isn't kindness. To awaken the body preserved beneath the mountain and break free of his prison, he must consume the soul of the woman bound to him. Dahlia should be nothing more than a means to an end. Yet her stubborn humor, relentless greed, and refusal to yield begin to unravel something within him...something dangerously close to humanity. As the dead whisper through the labyrinth below and ancient truths claw their way to the surface, Dahlia faces an impossible choice: trust the god destined to devour her, or destroy the only being who has ever truly understood her. After all, the most dangerous thing in the Cave of the Dead isn't what waits in the darkness. It's the voice that knows exactly how to reach her heart. ~~~🦋 Early draft, being revised for publication elsewhere.

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.
