- "Some flames you run from. Others you beg to burn you." Inspired by the haunting emotional tension of "Mind Games" ---{BOOK COVER UPDATED} At an elite academy carved into the mist-shrouded cliffs of Da Lat, every secret has a price-and every student is playing a game they can't afford to lose. Phuwin Tangsakyuen has rules. Cold. Unbending. Necessary. He's a legacy student at The Gracen Institute, where power is inherited and vulnerability is weaponized. But when Pond Naravit arrives-transfer case sealed, smile unreadable, aura laced with danger-Phuwin's system begins to fracture. Pond doesn't follow the rules. He doesn't flinch when threatened. And he sees through Phuwin's armor with unsettling precision. Their connection isn't love-it's obsession. It's manipulation. It's a slow descent into chaos disguised as intimacy. As twisted histories unravel and the stakes turn deadly, the line between control and surrender blurs. Is Pond here to ruin Phuwin? Or has Phuwin already become everything Pond ever wanted to claim? Because some games aren't played for fun. They're played for keeps. And even the moon? It burns for the ones who dare to love recklessly. ---
