    She was the one chosen to accompany the prince - not in his days of triumph, but in the quiet shadow of his fall, when the crown was a distant dream and his name no longer called in the halls of power. For three passing years, there were no battles, no crowns, no courtly schemes - only still days, gentle hours, and a bond too fragile to name, yet too deep to forget. And when he rose once more, ascending to the throne that had always been his by right, she remained in the silence - a figure on the edge of history, with nothing but the ache of memory and the trace of a smile that once meant everything. This is a tale of love left unspoken, of three slow autumns that passed like whispers, and of a wound too soft to bleed, yet too tender to ever truly heal.

    Skye is twelve when she dies-and wakes up believing she's simply made it home late. She remembers the cold pavement, the fear, the sudden dark... and then she's standing in her kitchen again, asking why there's no butter left. But her house feels wrong. Her mother holds her like she's about to vanish. Her sister looks older, harder, like time has moved on without her. Piece by piece, Skye is forced to understand the impossible truth: she's been gone for five years. The world kept turning. Her family fractured. And somehow, she's come back. The Night Skye Came Home is a quiet, devastating story about love, grief, and the aftermath of loss told through the eyes of a child trying to make sense of a reality that no longer follows the rules. As Skye navigates a town that feels hollowed out by her death, a family reshaped by guilt and survival, and the terrifying mystery of her own return, she must face a question no one can answer for her: how do you live again in a world that already learned how to mourn you? At its heart, this is a story about how deeply one small life mattered-and how love can both save and break the people left behind.

    After graduating secondary school with results that leave him feeling directionless, Eli watches his childhood best friend Isaac leave the state to chase a brighter future. Left behind with his doubts, his darkness, and a sketchbook filled with dead places, Eli enrolls in an art college he never planned to love. There, he meets Martin, a gentle, fantasy-minded classmate whose quiet presence slowly pulls Eli out of his isolation. When they step in to protect Michelle, a warm-hearted nursing student being harassed by a violent senior, the incident lands them in a hospital-where Eli meets Tiara. Calm, intelligent, and carrying an almost otherworldly grace, Tiara dreams of working in hospitals, using art to comfort those who are suffering. As Eli and Tiara grow closer, sharing their fears, dreams, and unspoken wounds, Eli finds himself drawn to her light despite his obsession with death and darkness. For the first time, he begins to imagine a future that feels... alive. But the warmth doesn't last. When Tiara is diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor, the boy who once romanticized death is forced to confront the terror of losing someone he loves. Alongside Martin, Michelle, a chaotic-but-kind senior named Aiden, and the determined school president Jen, Eli fights against time itself-working part-time jobs, organizing fundraisers, and clinging to hope.

    What happens when a writer finds his lost inspiration? 25 year old city novelist, Fredrick LeBair, has been working on the same unfinished book since he was a teenager-a story about a quiet, young country boy who moves into the city. But somewhere along his writing journey his spark dies. Out of desperation and an eager need to finish his book, Fredrick leaves the city and moves to a small, rural town, hoping to find peace and fill in the emptiness his lost inspiration had left. Instead, he finds a young, pestering boy who won't leave him alone until Fredrick agrees to help him with his English homework and write a letter to his father who is overseas. But it isn't the young boy who intrigues and surprises him, but rather the man who is raising him. A man who he had met many years ago back when he lived in the city. The man who had inspired him to write his story.
