Five years ago, Claire Argent watched the Hale house burn to the ground and lost the boy she loved inside it. Derek Hale believed Claire betrayed his family to the hunters. Claire believed Derek spent months lying to her while planning to kill her alongside the rest of the Argents. Neither of them knew the truth. And by the time the fire died out, it was already too late. Now twenty-one, Claire has become everything Kate Argent trained her to be: beautiful, ruthless, and terrifyingly good at hunting werewolves. Beacon Hills was supposed to stay buried with the past. But Derek Hale is alive. Scott McCall is hiding dangerous secrets. And the hatred Claire built her entire life around starts cracking the second she sees Derek again. Because despite everything, some part of her still remembers what it felt like to be sixteen in the Hale kitchen, loved completely by a family she was taught to call monsters. And this time, the thing hunting Claire might not be Derek Hale. It might be the truth.

Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]

"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.
