Lyra has always been the girl who smiled.
Bubbly, full of laughter, a little ray of sunshine in a grey world... or so everyone thinks.
Behind the bright eyes and jokes, her life is painfully boring and unbearably lonely. An orphan abandoned by her parents, she's been drifting through life, dreaming of something-someone-who could make her heart race.
She never expected it to be him.
Zane.
A name only the bravest dare to speak.
The ruthless, cold-hearted King of the Underworld. A man feared by all... and untouchable by anyone.
Until her.
One accidental meeting turns into something far more dangerous than Lyra ever imagined. Zane doesn't believe in love. Lyra doesn't believe in danger. But the moment their worlds collide, neither will ever be the same.
Because sometimes the brightest light is the one that tempts the darkest shadow.

The Croatoan Calling
It started as a story. The kind you chase for headlines. The kind you don't expect to live. When a string of disappearances brings journalist-in-training Lyra to a quiet, off-the-map town, she thinks it's just another assignment. A historical rabbit hole. A forgotten legend. Then she meets him-Thane. Then she meets him-Keiran. And suddenly, the line between myth and memory starts to unravel. Secrets buried in blood. A name echoing through time: Croatoan. And a girl who was never just a girl. Lyra's not here to write the story. She is the story. If you're into cursed bloodlines, morally gray heirs, enemies who might be something more, and a mystery that spirals into something much bigger than anyone expected... Start reading here.Lengkap
The Drowned Cure🌊🌀
In a drowned world where emotions are outlawed and love is punishable by death, Nereya-a cold, calculated rebel nurse-survives by suppressing every trace of feeling. Raised in the sunken ruins of Lys, she runs an illegal clinic beneath the surface, smuggling forbidden "emotion serums" to those desperate to feel anything at all. But when Cassian, a government enforcer with secrets of his own, is sent to monitor her, cracks begin to form in Nereya's carefully controlled life. He's calm. Deadly. And uncomfortably human. Worse-he makes her feel. When her buried powers awaken during a failed execution, the city turns on her. The regime brands her as a sea-born - a child of the ancient drowned gods. Now hunted, Nereya must choose: trust the enemy who defies his own orders to protect her... or make a deal with a dark sea god who promises vengeance, power, and survival - at the cost of her soul. But there's one rule she cannot break: If she falls in love... the sea will claim them both.Lengkap

His presence is felt throughout the land, his face a mystery to all but those closest to him.

But what sets her apart from others is not just her physical beauty, but also her kind heart and pure soul. Despite her stunning looks, Amaira radiates a warmth and grace that is completely natural to her. Her personality is a paradox, a mix of sweetness and sass, with a hint of stubbornness that surfaces at unexpected moments. He's cold, cruel - but only with his words. His hands?

But can she survive the desire-and blood-that ties her fate to his? "He was the devil I should have hated... yet when he shielded me with his body, I realized hell never looked so tempting." ---
