A world once on the cusp of perfection is shattered by jealousy and is now but a husk, a frayed reflection of what it once was.
Hope is mired in this broken world but perhaps simple dreams can be overlooked.
A daughter unable to mourn, a stolen orphan, loyalty of no purpose, and untold promises.
Perhaps a dream of a new world and of new beginnings, no matter how aimless they may be.

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.

I Woke Up as the Mafia Boss's Rejected Wife
I was just a normal college girl-reckless, loud, and a little bit of a troublemaker. But everything changed the moment I saved a child from being hit by a truck. When I opened my eyes, I wasn't dead. Instead, I woke up in the body of a woman everyone called perfect-rich, beautiful, angelic. The catch? She's married to a Mafia boss... and he hates her. To him, I am nothing but a burden. To his family, I am just an arranged pawn. But I'm not the same fragile wife they used to know. They wanted an obedient heiress. They got me instead-a fighter with a soft heart and iron fists. And if my Mafia husband thinks he can keep rejecting me... he's about to learn what kind of woman I really am.Complete
