When the sleek Boeing 747 roared through the sky, no one aboard could have imagined their lives would soon be irrevocably changed. A sudden malfunction. A desperate crash landing. A mysterious island, untouched by time, holding secrets that could alter the course of humanity itself.
For Lilith, a dedicated pediatric surgery intern with a past she's tried to leave behind, the island becomes more than a battleground for survival-it becomes a place of rediscovery, forbidden love, and an awakening to powers beyond her comprehension. Beside her is Paul, a rugged adventurer with a haunted soul, and Olivia, a single mother navigating a storm of heartbreak and resilience. Together with other survivors, they form a fragile community, bound by the island's relentless grip.
But the island is alive, its purpose intertwined with the lives of two children born amidst the chaos-Penny and Xavier. Marked by fate and endowed with mysterious destinies, the children are the island's key to rebirth... or its downfall.
In this tale of passion, betrayal, and survival, the survivors grapple with their desires, fears, and the enigmatic force that binds them to the island. As truths unfold and loyalties are tested, they must ask themselves: Is the island a sanctuary, or a trap? And at what cost will its secrets be revealed?

Kadota (Love Trilogy)
In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out.
