Yin and Yang
A symbol of balance. Within every light lies shadow, and within every shadow, a spark of light.
Kasie never believed such things-until one night changed everything.
A strange stall, an old woman, and a deck of cards that should never have been touched.
What began as harmless fun soon spirals into something far darker than Kasie's haunting stories.
When the cards are drawn, fate begins to play its game... and it doesn't like to lose.

THE TIME BETWEEN by A L É T H E I A
Now available on Kindle and Paperback via Amazon. She doesn't just break hearts. She devours souls. Amanda Langley has never had to work for anything except her beauty, and at forty-seven, she's perfected it into a weapon. Drifting through New York's art world on charm and calculated vulnerability, she's mastered the art of being wanted-by the right people, at the right time, for exactly as long as she needs them. When she walks into Samantha Reyes's Chelsea gallery on a humid September night, it looks like fate. Sam-brilliant, lonely, hungry for connection-is everything Amanda has been searching for. What begins as intoxication spirals into obsession. But Amanda didn't choose Sam randomly, and this isn't love. This is something else entirely. What follows is a masterclass in emotional destruction-a manipulation so precisely calibrated to inflict maximum damage, that Sam is left shattered in ways she didn't know were possible. And in that devastation, Amanda finds exactly what she's been cultivating all along. Set against the glittering backdrop of New York and Singapore art scene-where everyone is selling a carefully curated version of themselves and appearance is the only truth that matters-The Time Between is a mesmerizing exploration of narcissism, desire, and the darkness that lives behind beautiful faces. Part psychological thriller, part modern gothic tale, it chronicles the brutal space between devastation and healing, where Sam must fight to reclaim not just her life, but her very self.
