In the year 2500, mega cities rise above the ashes of the old world, where technology and power dictate every facet of life. Kairis is a survivor from the Lower City, caught between two forces locked in a brutal war: the resistance fighting to reclaim freedom for humanity, and The Core, a ruthless, hyper-advanced regime tightening its grip on the world.
As Kairis is pulled deeper into the chaos, she finds herself navigating not only the battleground of revolution, but the tangled web of her own heart. Theo, a mysterious and conflicted figure tied to The Core's dark secrets, stirs memories and emotions Kairis thought she had buried as a child. Then there's Jorah, a fiercely loyal resistance fighter whose devotion to the cause is both inspiring and dangerous-especially as he begins to question whether the resistance is truly any better than the enemy they fight.
With the lines between right and wrong, love and loyalty, enemy and ally growing ever more blurred, Kairis must confront the truth about her past, and her own power to shape the future. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes: changing the world might come at the cost of everything she loves.
Soulware is a heart-pounding dystopian thriller full of emotional depth, explosive action, and a heroine who refuses to be defined by the world that made her.

Mate?We're Not Friends!
"You bastard! Let me go!" I screamed as soon as the gag fell from around my mouth. "You know I can't let you go, as I've already explained multiple times before, you're my mate." He explained patiently, while he walked closer and touched a strand of my dusty blond bangs. "No! I'm not you're friend."I gashed my teeth at him, trying to look menacing, but failing terribly when he chuckled and carried on stroking my hair. If it was not for my hands being tied up behind my back, and my legs being cuffed to the poles in front of me, I would have already clawed his eyes out, and kicked him where the sun does not shine, then I would have made my escape, but unfortunately for me I did not think that will be happening any time soon. "Not friend;mates. Mates, as in soul mates" his melodic voice was just above a whisper, and his lips where inches away from my ear. I looked at him, as if he had lost his mind, because even if I was not a shrink, I knew he should be diagnosed-crazy. "You're mad, you need some help-" Hi there, I'm Blair. Maybe I should start my story from the beginning, of how me; a average nineteen year old girl with daddy issues, ended up being kidnapped by a crazy guy, who believes I'm his soul mate, and he also thinks he's a werewolf-crazy right?Complete

Glass Heart
After the Earth's magnetic field collapsed, the planet was bombarded with unfiltered solar radiation. The skies burned. Cities turned to dust. Survivors now live in massive airborne citadels, floating high above the toxic surface in a fragile balance of climate, class, and control. Each citizen's survival depends on a Glass Heart - a biomechanical implant powered by solar energy, calibrated to their social rank. The elite bask in artificial sunlight and live for centuries. The lower castes, confined to the shadowed underlayers, burn out fast - their hearts dimming with every passing year. Aella, born in the shadow-tier, works as a solar mechanic, servicing the light panels that keep the city afloat. One wrong move, and she risks exposure to raw light - a death sentence. She lives quietly, surviving by routine... until one night, she's ordered to repair a core in the upper citadel. There, she meets Cassian, a solar prince with a perfect Glass Heart - blindingly bright, surgically beautiful, and destined to rule the sky. Their connection is immediate. Impossible. Reckless. Every moment Aella spends near him overcharges her failing heart, threatening to burn her alive. Every second Cassian defies his caste by being with her dims his - an irreversible sign of corruption. But as their stolen encounters grow deeper, they uncover a secret buried in the light system: the citadel is failing. The elite's immortality depends on draining the hearts of the poor. Every bright Glass Heart comes at the cost of hundreds of dimmed ones. Including Aella's. They can run - and die faster. Or they can ignite a revolution powered by love, truth, and the one thing the elite can't manufacture: sacrifice. Because love isn't forbidden. It's just fatal.

Stability. A better chance at lasting love.But even its creators admit its limits. The system identifies a bond-it does not enforce one. Love, after all, is still a choice. And not everyone trusts an algorithm to make it for them. Some claim it's flawed, manipulated by the wealthy for their heirs. Others believe it's a near-perfect intelligence, capable of guiding people toward happiness-if they let it. For most, the system reveals itself during the teenage years: a name appearing on the wrist, faint as ink beneath the skin. Permanent. Unavoidable.

With her mother's wedding approaching and Kai moving closer into her orbit, hiding the truth grows harder by the day. They say love is complicated. Destiny is worse.Yet it isn't love that terrifies her-it's the system itself. The chip inside her. The anomaly rewriting her life. And according to the rules, there's only one way to fix it.

In a world where soulmates are written into flesh by pulsing blood and coded fate, Kirsten Park is about to discover what happens when destiny chooses wrong-and demands to be believed anyway.
