Odette barely escapes, forced onto the frozen surface she's only heard horror stories about. The cold is brutal. The ruins are haunted by creatures that should not exist. And the few survivors left will do anything to stay alive but so will she.
The only things keeping her going are the thoughs about her brother and the safe haven, Aurelia.
If Kieran survived, she'll find him.
If Aurelia is real, she'll reach it.
And no matter what lurks in the ice, she'll be ready.

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. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.Complete
The Mask in The Magic World
🖤 The Mask in The Magic World Power is color. And color is everything. In a world where magic equals status, power, and praise, the elite walk in light-and the powerless are dragged through mud. Golds rule. Silvers obey. Purples destroy. And those with no magic at all? They get food trays dumped on their heads in the janitor's room. Hyunjin is Korea's golden boy. Seventeen, flawless, and worshipped, his chaos magic is the most destructive in existence-or so he thinks. With a lethal face card and the world wrapped around his finger, Hyunjin reigns at the top with his inner circle: Chan (telekinesis), Changbin (electricity), Seungmin (intelligence), and Jisung (mind control). He's untouchable. Unbothered. Unchallenged. Until he notices him. The quiet boy in the back. Tall. Always masked. Dressed in black. Felix. Unremarkable. Ignored. Forgotten. But what no one knows is that Felix wields black magic-a power older, darker, and far more dangerous than anything this world has ever seen. He's hiding in plain sight, watching, waiting... protecting one person only: his little brother Jeongin, the powerless boy who keeps getting hurt. When students who bully Jeongin start vanishing, whispers rise. When Felix looks at Hyunjin, the chaos inside him stirs. And when Hyunjin starts looking back? It's not curiosity. It's obsession. Because black magic doesn't just destroy. It devours. And Hyunjin has never wanted anything more than the boy who never looks at him- and the power behind the mask.Complete

Ashes of Magic - Hyunlix
The world ended a long time ago or so it seemed like. Magic is extinct. Humanity is gone. The Earth is no longer ruled by kings or creatures-but by monsters from other planets. Blind, grotesque, and lethal, they stalk the land, drawn to even the smallest sound. And Felix-once the strongest magical being alive-is the last of his kind. He's been alone for years. His magic is fading. And he's convinced that love, like the world, was just another thing that didn't survive. Until he meets Hyunjin. Mortal. Stubborn. Sharp-Tongued. Completely untrained. And somehow still alive. Their meeting is chaos-swords clashing, instincts flaring-but neither can deny the strange pull between them. Felix, hardened and bitter, is forced to teach Hyunjin how to survive. But the longer they stay together, the more impossible things start to happen. Felix's magic, long thought lost, begins to return...slowly, gently...with every breath Hyunjin takes. Because maybe, just maybe- What Felix needed to stay alive... Was never just power. But love. The emotion he's never felt or wanted to feel.
