"What do you call me... when you're being a good girl?" he asks, his voice low and dangerous-a warning wrapped in velvet that makes her stomach clench. She smirks, slow and sinful, trailing a fingertip down the sharp line of his jaw. "Daddy."
Inside a luxury villa in Singapore, two girls call him "Daddy." One does it with innocent giggles, leaping into his arms for a hug. The other screams it in the middle of the night, digging her nails into his back.
Rafael Tan. Thirty-seven. Divorced. A father. Rich, powerful, and emotionally hollow, he keeps the world at arm's length. He doesn't do drama, and he certainly doesn't do distractions. Until her.
Selene is an art student with too much attitude, zero filter, and a mouth that is strictly trouble. She crashes into his perfectly ordered life like a storm he never predicted.
In a world where age gaps raise eyebrows and reputation is currency, the line between right and wrong is about to blur. Because one thing is crystal clear: When she calls him Daddy-she's definitely not talking about family.

In a world divided between light and ice, one name stirs both hope... and fear.
Thara, a seventeen-year-old girl from the border valley of Miðvel, leads an ordinary life until the day when dreams of wolves, a tree crowned with ice, and runes become reality.
When her village is attacked by the mysterious Hollow, Thara awakens an ancient power within herself and discovers the mark that makes her the Heir of Runes. Together with a wandering scholar and a werewolf from the Vargr clan, she sets out north to find the legendary Crown of runes and restore balance between the three realms: Liora, Svaltheim, and Miðvel.
But the closer she comes to the truth, the tighter the shadowed past closes its icy claws around her. Skadiar, the Ice Queen, has returned.
And she desires not only the crown... but also her soul.
