*Changing the book cover soon... "Some field trips change your life. This one decides who survives." Senior year was supposed to end with one final class trip. Eighteen students from Gotham Academy are selected to tour the now-decommissioned Arkham Asylum,where historians and city officials are documenting the infamous institution before it is permanently closed to the public. The trip begins like any other. The guide tells stories about The Joker, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and the countless criminals who once walked the halls. The students laugh, take pictures, and dare each other to explore restricted areas. Then the ferry leaves..... Moments later, the island goes into complete lockdown. Every bridge seals. The power fails. Communications are cut. Someone has been hiding beneath Arkham for years, waiting for the perfect opportunity to reactivate the asylum's forgotten underground security systems. Batman arrives after intercepting a distress signal, only to discover he is trapped on the island alongside the students. As the night grows darker, the group realizes they aren't being hunted for revenge..... They're part of an experiment. Each wing of Arkham forces the students to confront their greatest fears, deepest regrets, and darkest secrets. Friendships fracture. Hidden betrayals come to light. Some students will become heroes. Others will become villains. Batman must protect eighteen frightened teenagers while solving the mystery behind Arkham's newest mastermind before the island claims them all. Because in Arkham...... The shadows don't just follow you. They know your name.

She was known as softness in a world that respected only steel. To the outside world, she was the kind of girl people trusted without thinking-gentle eyes, warm smiles, hands that helped before they were asked to. She believed in quiet kindness, in listening more than speaking, in healing rather than hurting. Neighbors spoke of her as too pure for this world, someone who didn't belong anywhere near danger. And yet, danger had always belonged to her. Behind the calm grace she carried so effortlessly was a mind sharper than any blade and a power no one suspected. In the shadows, under a name whispered only in fear and loyalty, she ruled a secret mafia empire-one built not on chaos, but on control. She didn't command through brutality alone; she commanded through intelligence, strategy, and an unbreakable sense of justice. She destroyed monsters so others wouldn't have to face them. Her life had always been divided into two truths: One lived in the light. The other ruled the dark. Then came the marriage. She was to be married off to a man the world already feared-a mafia king whose name carried blood, power, and legend. To everyone else, it was a dangerous alliance; to her family, a terrifying gamble. To him, she was merely a gentle bride, a beautiful weakness. But marriage doesn't just change surnames. It changes empires. As she steps into his world, her carefully balanced double life begins to crack. Secrets collide. Power shifts. And the girl everyone believed was fragile must decide whether to remain hidden in the shadows-or rise, unapologetically, and reveal that the most dangerous thing about her was never her kindness... but the fact that she had always known how to survive without losing it # 13 IN CONTROL (19/12/2025) # 5 IN FAMILYHISTORY (19/12/2025) # 3 IN FAMILYHISTORY (30/12/2025) # 41 OUT OF 55.8K BOOKS IN POWER (2/1/2026) #2 IN FAMILY HISTORY (3/1/2025) #3IN SECRETIDENTITY OUT OF 8.2k BOOKS (23/1/2025)
