"Beauty blooms on blood. We serve so others may flourish."
----------------
At the prestigious Valemont Academy, the Crimson Host Society is the most glamorous - and most dangerous - student organization. By day, they are charming hosts who entertain the academy's elite with lavish galas, elegant rituals, and flawless performances. But when night falls, their true purpose is revealed.
Bound to an ancient blood pact, the Hosts are responsible for keeping a primordial entity known only as The Heart at bay. Every seven nights, a ritual must be performed - and a new Offering must be made. Through manipulation, seduction, and carefully orchestrated games, the Hosts lure unsuspecting guests into becoming the next sacrifice.
When Elio Maren, a scholarship student with a mysterious gift, is accidentally drawn into the society's web, he discovers a world of masked ceremonies, blood-soaked roses, and sinister secrets lurking beneath Valemont's perfect facade. But as Elio unravels the truth about the Hosts and his own dark past, he must navigate a deadly game of temptation, power, and survival - before he becomes the next Offering.

Paper hearts and Wars
Premise: At Blackwood High, the student body is split into factions - not by design, but by legacy. The "Legacy Kids" (children of alumni, rich, influential families) rule the school, while the rest are just... extras. Valencia.R , an emotionally guarded scholarship student with a painful past, is known for her sarcasm, top grades, and utter refusal to bow down to the system. Riaan Valerio, the golden boy of Blackwood - head boy, star athlete, and son of the school's trustee - seems perfect on the outside, but he's been silently crumbling under the weight of expectations. They've hated each other since freshman year. Petty pranks. Savage insults. Public call-outs. Detention partners more times than they can count. But when a school-wide literary competition forces them to co-write a story together - and they have to meet in secret because their rivalry is too public - the lines begin to blur. As they write fiction, their own truths start leaking into the pages. She writes about heartbreak like she's lived it. He edits like he's trying to say something he's never had the courage to speak. Between late-night writing sessions, old wounds reopening, and secrets spilling, they begin to realize: maybe their hate was just a mask for something deeper. Maybe the war zone was the only place they felt alive. But what happens when the story they're writing threatens to expose everything they've both buriedComplete
