Can there be honour amongst thieves?
Vayla, an iron-willed and arrogant Maiden, fights for the cause of banishing greed and slavery on the Titan Sea. When she boarded the Voyager she vowed never again to step foot on land and she intends to honour this until the day she dies. That is, until she meets Beckett Dryden, a fallen Pirate Lord with a taste for vengeance and a moral compass so broken it's impossible to know where his loyalties lie. After Beckett betrays her and takes her prisoner on his ship, Vayla agrees to work with him to steal the five actoria rings of power in exchange for her freedom.
To aid their quest, Beckett employs a crew of untrustworthy thieves which includes Yuan, a sneaky Tracer who has the ability to locate the rings, Celina, a secret princess who wants to steal the rings for her Kingdom, and Jessabelle, a lonely siren who wishes to honour a debt to Beckett. Driven by their conflicting motives, the thieves work together to plot and execute three heists to steal the rings. Of course, the journey won't be smooth sailing. Nobody can be trusted when lies, betrayal and dishonesty are the crew's second nature.
When each player in their deadly game of truth and lies is fighting for a different cause, who will come out on top and who will be left in chains and ruin?

Zora: The Leviathan's Eye
"There's no room in the world for trust, hope, or the wealthy's compensating fashion sense. Now pass the Rum." - Zora Zora's been from Constantinople to Timbuktu. She's gambled with religious figures and stolen a Belgian princess's Tiara because she was bored, and all before she was 15. But one night, while touring the streets on an inebriated impulse celebrating her 17th birthday, her life is upturned like a ship caught in a tropical hurricane. Zora overhears an unlikely pair whispering about a secret map and a rumor. A rumor of treasure and magic. Uncharacteristically, Zora decides to act on impulse and steal the map and follow the rumor. But stealing the map was only the beginning of everything going wrong. Zora quickly becomes hunted by a secret society and their master assassin; the Reaper. She begins to have terrible nightmares of speaking shadows and creatures of myth. And she kidnaps a young man named Tryston, who can't remember that he can summon magic and can't forget his strong attraction to Zora. Then there's the night when Tryston prophesies about her being the key to the world's irreversible destruction. But she'll just have to burn that bridge when she gets to it.Kumpleto

The Fifth Wife's Daughter
Nineteen-year-old Sloane Vale has spent her life outrunning shadows-her mother's lies, her own silence, and the incident that shattered their relationship forever. Now, after her mother's fifth marriage, Sloane is dragged into a world she never asked to enter: high society, old money, and a secret circle of power that runs the city from behind masked galas and blood-soaked contracts. She shows up on a motorcycle, all leather, scars, and fake smiles-and immediately disrupts everything. Especially him. Her new stepbrother, West Callahan-cold, perfect, untouchable. And his friends: Jude, who smiles while he breaks things. Beckett, who hides his pain in brutal art. Rhys, who runs the society like a king with a golden noose. They're all older. They're all dangerous. And they're all bound to each other by secrets Sloane isn't supposed to know-or want. But Sloane doesn't follow rules. Not when they belong to the people who tried to bury her once. Not when every kiss tastes like defiance. Not when every lie she unravels brings her closer to the truth... and the boys who would burn the world to keep her. As their obsession turns deadly and their twisted society demands loyalty above love, Sloane has to decide: Will she destroy them from the inside out-or claim them as hers first?Kumpleto

The Quiet Offering
The gods chose them. But what if the gods lied? Cael's world runs on worship-every birth, breath, and death bound to divine light. He's never questioned it. Until his sister slips into an unnatural coma, and the gods demand a price for her salvation. Hunted by monsters, torn between loyalty and truth, Cael must decide: will he wield the sword that protects the lie, or ignite the flame that burns it all down? A tale of sacrifice, betrayal, and love in a world where gods wear masks, and faith itself can topple kingdoms. (Slow-burn, but once it ignites, it consumes.)
Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. But when the past claws its way back, survival isn't enough - vengeance demands blood. Victoria learned how to stay quiet. Grief became her shadow, guilt her constant companion. It whispered in her ear that she should have been the one to die instead. Not her mother. Never her mother. If she had, maybe her father wouldn't have walked away, leaving them to fend for themselves. But silence is a fragile shield-and when the past resurfaces, dragging her into a world she barely escaped, she realizes staying quiet won't save her this time. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, behind rage, behind the monster his past made him. Forged by cruelty, built by betrayal, and fueled by rage, he became the kind of man other monsters feared. Scars became his armor. Violence, his language. He doesn't believe in mercy-only vengeance. Especially for the man who made him this way. Victoria was everything he had been taught to avoid - soft yet unbreakable, damaged yet defiant. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own, a past carved into her bones, a war waged behind tired eyes. She saw through him in ways no one else had ever dared, and he hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. He was chaos wrapped in quiet fury, a storm threatening to consume everything in its path. And yet, when she looked at him, she didn't just see the monster - she saw the man who had once fought to hold on to his soul. But love between two broken people is never easy. It's volatile. Cruel. A constant push and pull, neither of them willing to surrender, both too damaged to truly hold on. The closer they get, the more dangerous the stakes become. Yet, for all the ways they fought against it, they kept coming back to each other.Kumpleto
