Jerusalem was the greatest city on earth. Yet its greatest secret was hidden beneath the throne.
Eliab is an orphan and a court servant, invisible to the powerful figures who shape the kingdom. When the legendary Queen of Sheba arrives with her grand caravan, the city buzzes with talk of riddles, wisdom, and gold. But Eliab notices something else: a sealed cedar chest, carried in secret under the cover of night.
This discovery draws him into a world he was never meant to see-a hidden court of forbidden archives, ancient languages, and scholars who disappear without a trace. As he investigates, he crosses paths with Makeda, a brilliant young scholar from Sheba whose own family is tied to a mystery older than Solomon's throne.
Together, they must unravel a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of the king's court, while navigating a dangerous attraction that could destroy them both. In a kingdom where wisdom is the greatest currency, some truths are worth killing for.

MISSING YOU [ONC 2026]
Elenor Williams and Jacob Matthew had been inseparable since middle school. Best friends. First love. Forever. Until forever ended on a quiet night filled with screeching tires. Two months after Jacob's death, a letter arrives on Elenor's birthday, written in his unmistakable handwriting. At first, she convinces herself it's something he prepared in advance. A final act of love. One last promise. But then a few months later, another letter comes. And another. Each one feels too aware. Too personal. Too present. They mention things no one else should know. They comfort her. They warn her. They remind her that promises were made the night Jacob died. As grief slowly turns into something far more unsettling, Elenor begins to question everything - the accident, the memories, and even the people she trusts the most. Because sometimes, missing someone isn't the scariest part. 'Sometimes, it's realizing they might never have left.'

Saraphine
My name is Saraphine-just Saraphine. It may seem strange for a human being with flesh, blood and a soul to have nothing but a first name, but, to some, I'm not a human and I don't have any of those things. You see, I was born a slave. Don't feel bad for me, child. I've had it much better than most. I bear no scars, never got separated from my sweet mama until I was near grown. I even have children of my own. Those three things are blessings beyond what most born into this life receive-and they aren't the only reasons I'm happy today. I wasn't always so happy with my lot in life-no, I've been bitter and angry and full of self-pity. My life has certainly had its ups and downs. Mainly because of love. Isn't love the make or break of all us women? We crave love from those around us. We simply cannot do without it and too often it nearly does us in. Let me tell you, dear reader, the tale of my life and of the journey I endured to find peace within myself, peace with my life and, yes, love.Complete
