Ariana's world is about to shatter. When a chance encounter on a dating app leads her to Dorian, a charming yet mysterious man, she finds herself drawn into a world of magic she never knew existed. Sparks fly between them along with an undeniable tension but Ariana has no idea that the man she's just met holds secrets darker than any she could imagine. Dorian isn't just another flirt on a mission to break hearts. He's searching for something, someone and Ariana's magic might be the key to unlocking the truth behind an ancient world hidden just beyond the edges of reality. As their connection deepens, so does the danger that lurks at every corner. There's something within Ariana, something ancient, tied to the Gateways, doors to a world of darkness, power, and chaos. And the more she uncovers, the more she realizes that the path to saving both worlds might lead her straight into Dorian's arms... or into the heart of a terrifying truth that will change everything she thought she knew. When love and danger collide, the only certainty is that nothing is what it seems.

"When your favorite manhwa app becomes a portal, you either panic... or become the protagonist." Aria Lynhart never imagined her favorite pastime-reading manhwas at 2 a.m.-would be the reason she'd wake up in another world. One night, her phone glitches while she's reading, flashing a strange message: [New Feature Unlocked: Real-Time Immersion Experience] The next thing she knows, she's standing in the middle of a forest under two moons, her phone still glowing in her hand. Welcome to "Aethyra", a continent where mana fuels civilization, swords decide rank, and divine power shapes destiny. It's a world ruled by three great factions: the 'Sword Academy', the 'Magic Tower', and the 'High Temple' -and all three want her on their side. The problem? Aria doesn't belong here. Her magic shouldn't exist, her abilities defy the world's logic, and her phone-somehow-can analyze, predict, and rewrite reality itself. With humor, heart, and an unfortunate tendency to follow manhwa protagonist instincts, Aria must navigate political intrigue, divine prophecies, and overpowered rivals, all while hiding one terrifying truth: The world is breaking because of her. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Aria Lynhart will uncover who she truly is-a glitch born from a forgotten story, and the only one capable of ending or saving it. Every tap, every choice, every fight... rewrites fate itself. And her next chapter is just beginning.

Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks.

🌹 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 Aria arrives at her new school carrying more than just a past-she carries a silence sharp enough to cut. She doesn't look for attention, she doesn't ask for friendship, and she definitely doesn't believe in love. Not anymore. Her world is built on rules: Stay small. Stay quiet. Stay hidden. But everything starts to shift the moment Shivansh Rawat begins to notice her in ways she can't ignore. He watches her the way no one ever has-carefully, respectfully, like he's trying to understand the shadows she refuses to speak about. He doesn't push. He doesn't pry. Yet somehow, he gets closer than anyone should be able to. His presence is steady. His patience is disarming. And his care? It's the kind of dangerous that scares her... because she wants it. Aria feels the walls she built trembling against him-this boy who quietly steps into the spaces she guards most fiercely. He makes her question everything she believes about trust, safety, and love itself. But darkness doesn't disappear just because someone kind walks in. As she becomes part of a world filled with loud laughter, fierce loyalty, and friendships that burn bright-Rohan and Avni's fiery clashes, Saavi and Akshat's warm, teasing spark-Aria begins to feel something she has long forgotten: Hope. Hope that terrifies her as much as her past ever did. Because secrets don't stay buried forever. Sometimes they rise exactly when you start to heal. And Aria's past carries shadows that don't loosen their grip easily. Guarded Heart is a story of slow-burning romance, emotional unraveling, and the quiet bravery it takes to let love in when you've learned to fear it. Some hearts hide because they've been hurt. Some hearts protect because they care. And some hearts... collide so intensely, the world around them shifts. 💞 Slow Burn × Emotional Healing 🔥 Enemies to Lovers 🫶 Brother's Best Friend 🌸 Found Family & Fierce Friendships 📖 School Life

Aria Kane has always felt like she didn't belong-haunted by vivid dreams, plagued by instincts she can't explain, and carrying a wildness in her soul that refuses to be tamed.

A pack bound by blood, loyalty, and secrets. And they claim she's one of them. Thrown into a hidden world she never knew existed, Aria must navigate the tangled truth of her heritage, the awakening of her dormant powers, and the scorching connection she feels to the pack who's sworn to protect her.

Because in this world, survival means more than strength... it means trusting your instincts, embracing your wild, and choosing your pack. Even if it means giving her heart to all of them.

In a world shaped by ancient gods and unbreakable prophecies, two young souls are bound by destinies they never chose. Percival is a prophecy of death. Marked from birth, the entire world knows he is fated to die on his 23rd birthday to fulfill the "Payment of Peace," a cosmic bargain that maintains the fragile truce between humanity and the monstrous Abyssal Gods. As a commoner living among nobles, he trains relentlessly, not to escape his fate, but to challenge it, to prove that even the most ancient of prophecies can be shattered. Katarina is a prophecy of power. The heir to the throne and the future Psidat, the Ninth Saint of the Akanai, she is destined to become an immortal warrior, marry the mysterious Omega, and lead an endless war against the Abyssal Gods. Burdened by the weight of expectations and a future she fears, she is the shining hope of her people, yet inside, she feels like an impostor waiting to be exposed. As saints, gods, and ancient powers converge, Percy and Katarina will discover that their fated roles are more complex and intertwined than anyone imagined. In a race against time, they must ask themselves: can you defy destiny itself? And if you succeed, what terrible price will the world pay?

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.
