Years after Ryland Grace's harrowing mission to Rocky, he's back on Earth, quietly adjusting to life and fatherhood. He has a son from a previous relationship, balancing single parenthood with his scientific career. A chance meeting at a New York City bar brings him face-to-face with Hayley Moore, the brilliant astrobiologist who will challenge him intellectually, emotionally, and morally.
Together, Ryland and Hayley uncover a mysterious cosmic anomaly threatening Earth-or perhaps another human colony in space-forcing them to combine their scientific expertise and courage. Along the way, they navigate personal stakes, romance, and high-stakes action, with Ryland learning to open his heart again while mentoring his son and facing new extraterrestrial dangers.

What Remains | 𝓐𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓣𝓪𝓻𝓰𝓪𝓻𝔂𝓮𝓷
The dragons were dead. The blood of the dragon ran thin. But in the veins of Daena Blackfyre, the fire never went out. An exile with the scent of Eastern Cities on her skin and the shroud of a fallen rebellion in her shadow, Daena has spent a lifetime turning her scars into a suit of armour. Yet, she does not return to Westeros to claim a throne, but to harvest a debt. She is a woman of mystery, whispers and secrecy. A mistress of compacts and blood rites. In a world of loud men, she is the silent architect of ruin, a weaver of fates who knows that the world is merely a web and will is the hand that pulls the strings. And the will of the Gods must be followed. But even a weaver can be ensnared. In Prince Aerion Targaryen, she finds her mirror and her match, a man of wildfire and madness who seeks to own the very shadow that haunts him. He is the entitlement she despises and the fire she craves. Bound first by blood and courtly nearness and later by something far more perilous, their fates coil together like twin strands of smoke. A match that threatens to incinerate both West and East. A flame that will consume the very line of succession. A flame perfect to burn the woods and pave the path for The One to walk. ⪻────∘☽𖤓☾∘────⪼ The slow-burn is gonna burn so be prepared!!! There is lots of political drama, heavy religious themes, complex and dark romance, mature topics and things readers may find distressing!!

Chaos | Aerion Targaryen
Princess Visera Targaryen is Prince Baelor's only daughter, born on Dragonstone with silver hair like a promise and a curse, grows adored, indulged, and spoiled so thoroughly the realm itself seems trained to kneel when she merely lifts her chin. She is all velvet insolence and laughing defiance, a storm in pearls who expects the world to be handed to her, until she meets the one prince who does not bend. Aerion is fire given flesh: proud, cruel, and hungry for reverence, the sort of dragon-boy who would rather break than yield, and in him Visera finds the only refusal sharp enough to feel like desire. When King Daeron binds them in betrothal against the furious warnings of Baelor and Maekar, it is meant as a remedy, two tempests married to cancel each other out, but the gods do not bless such logic. What follows is a marriage like a dagger-dance: venom and laughter, denial and demand, courtly scandal and private hunger, two bright disasters locked together while those who love them watch with dread, knowing the realm has just tied silk to wildfire... and sooner or later, everyone will smell the smoke.Complete

She was never meant to exist-born of forbidden magic and raised in the shadows by Gellert Grindelwald himself. Adira's life at Beauxbatons is one of whispers, envy, and fear. Power follows her like a second skin, and danger waits at every turn as the Dark Lord rises beyond the walls of the academy. But everything changes the day she meets James Potter-brilliant, reckless, and entirely unafraid of her. With him come three others: Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew... and the beginning of a path she never saw coming. In a world teetering on war, will she choose love-or the power she was born for?
