When seventeen-year-old Delphine's world literally shatters-along with her living room window-she discovers the truth her brother has spent years hiding. They aren't human. They're Aetherials-beings born from the fabric of time, mind, and element itself.
Ryan is a Mistborn, a Hydrokinesis-wielding Elementari.
Delphine is something far more dangerous-a Chronari, gifted with the power to bend time.
But her gift comes at a cost. When buried memories resurface, so does the night she lost control-and the moment her mother died. Ryan confesses to erasing her memories to protect her from herself, and now, with their safety in jeopardy, he's taking her to Crownspire: a hidden island, home to Aetherium Academy, where beings of magic and myth walk among the living.
As Delphine steps into a world of Fae, dual-blooded Aetherials, and ancient rivalries, she begins to uncover a truth more terrifying than her brother ever revealed. Her power isn't just rare-it's coveted. And if she can't learn to control it, time itself might unravel.

Genshin Impact R
Two celestial travelers arrive at Teyvat, a world suspended between universes. In an instant, everything changes, one sibling is lost, and the other awakens centuries later, powerless and alone. Stripped of his abilities and trapped in an unfamiliar world, Aether must navigate Teyvat's mysteries with only a strange floating companion and the scattered remnants of his former strength. As he struggles to survive and adapt to this world's elemental magic, he discovers that his sealed powers don't behave as they should-creating dangerous, unpredictable results that may be his greatest weapon or his downfall. Haunted by loss and driven by an unyielding determination to find what was taken from him, Aether begins a journey through a land that appears beautiful and peaceful on the surface. But beneath Teyvat's serene exterior lie questions without answers, coincidences that feel orchestrated, and a creeping suspicion that nothing about his situation is accidental.
A KINGDOM BETWEEN US
Elara survived the war that erased her world. Eldoria burned. Her family fell. Her people vanished into ash. She was the only one left-and even that wasn't mercy. It was a bargain. Now she lives in Virewyn, the kingdom that destroyed her, forced to wear their name, follow their rules, and exist as proof of their victory. Rhaegar Virewyn was born into that victory. A rebel prince with blood on his back and defiance in his bones, he's spent his life fighting a throne that only ever tried to break him. Chaos is the only language he trusts. He was never meant to stand beside her. She was never meant to trust him. But somewhere between rivalry and survival, something shifts- dangerous, unwanted... inevitable. Because Elara isn't just carrying the past. Something ancient stirs within her. A voice that shouldn't exist. A power that was never meant to return. Minecasia. A name whispered like a warning. A force that does not give second chances-only takes control. And when the truth behind it all begins to unravel- about the war, about her survival, about why she was spared- it won't just tear them apart. It will rewrite everything they thought they knew about fate, power... and each other. --- TROPES 'A KINGDOM BETWEEN US' SERVES: RHAEGAR x ELARA - ~FORBIDDEN LOVE ~RIVAL FAMILIES JORA x KAEL ~SECOND CHANCE ~LOVE-AT-FIRST-SIGHT (KAEL) TYVEN x CIERA ~FAKE RELATIONSHIP ~BODYGUARD ROMANCE [PUBLISHED - SEPTEMBER 2025] [FINISHED - ]
