AMBROSE SERIES #2 Amaryllis Vega Perez grew up fast. Too mature for her age, Amari learned life's harshest lessons long before she should have. She spent her childhood carrying burdens that were never hers, sacrificing herself to protect her younger sisters. Like a star trapped beneath the vast ocean, she has always felt out of place-close enough to see the light, yet never able to reach it. Being accepted into Ambrose University for senior high school becomes her chance to finally surface. A new school, a new beginning, and perhaps a life that belongs to her for once. Then she meets Cornelius Zade Luna-brilliant, charming, and impossible to read. Beneath his effortless smile, however, is someone just as lost as she is. If Amari is a star beneath the waves, Cornelius is a fish searching for the sky, both longing for a place they've never truly belonged. What begins as rivalry slowly grows into an unexpected connection-one that feels like learning to breathe while drowning at the same time. But when the seas of her past begin to rage once more, will Amari finally rise above the waves... or remain a star beneath the waves forever? Language: TAGLISH Started: 11/29/25 Ended: 6/18/26
