Frida died on the battlefield with no family to mourn her-only a comrade she saved, and a quiet hope that she might see the man she loved but never confessed to. He too had perished in war. A soldier. An orphan. A soul full of quiet regrets. Her only comfort in life? The stories she devoured in secret-especially the ones about loved daughters finally finding a place to belong. But fate had something stranger in store. When she wakes again, it's not her body she returns to-but that of Nej, the veiled, forgotten princess from the last novel she read. Scarred, unloved, and pushed aside-a tragic villainess who had once moved Frida's heart. Now, somehow, Frida is inside her. But it's not just reincarnation. It's inheritance. Nej, it seems, had turned back time-returning to the moment she was scarred by her mother's blade. Too broken to face her past again, she summoned the one soul who had mourned her in silence: Frida. A girl who shared her pain. A girl who also bore a scar from her first battle. A girl who would take her place. Now, with both their memories tangled inside her, Frida-as-Nej carries more than just a royal name. She carries two lifetimes of sorrow, and a vow to break the cycle: She will fulfill Nej's unspoken regrets. She will reclaim her own life. And she will shatter the gilded cage of royalty-sword in hand. Because this time, she's not living for duty or death. She's living for freedom.

It's a story of Francheska Mirae Sandoval chasing freedom at the same time loving someone who's always been with her. For seven years, France and Echo have been each other's best friend. From awkward Grade 10 students with impossible dreams to 23 years old trying to figure out life, they've shared everything such as inside jokes, late-night conversations, spontaneous trips, and the kind of friendship that feels impossible to break. France was once a passionate writer whose stories could fill entire notebooks. But during her fourth year of college, she put down her pen and walked away from her dream. Burdened by expectations, weighed down by pressure, and constantly seeking the approval of a father who never seemed proud enough, she convinced herself that writing was something she had to leave behind. Echo, on the other hand, never stopped believing in her. A multimedia artist with a talent for turning imagination into reality, he continues to create artworks inspired by the characters France once loved so much. Even when she stopped writing, he kept her stories alive. Alongside their circle of friends, they spend their twenties exploring new places, chasing unfamiliar roads, and making memories they hope will last forever. Every destination becomes a chapter, every photograph a reminder, and every journey another reason to hold on to the people who matter most. But growing up has a way of changing things. Will they ruin their friendship? Will their friendship survive adulthood, or will the years they've spent together become just another story left unfinished? A heartfelt story about friendship, healing, found family, chasing forgotten dreams, and finding your way back to yourself-one journey at a time.

I didn't expect to find a boy who could read my silence like a favorite book. Behind the Hostel Ki Deewarein, life is finally beginning. But can you ever truly outurn the shadows of your past?

After all, free wheeling through life is way better than changing oil in minivan engines day after day.

Alma has never questioned The Sanctuary. Beyond the pine forests lies the Noise, a corrupt and violent world abandoned by the faithful decades ago. Inside the compound, life is orderly. Silent. Pure. Every morning begins with prayer, every choice belongs to the elders, and every girl is taught the same truth: Obedience is love. Raised within the rigid teachings of Father Vale and the Church of the Holy Silence, Alma has spent her life preparing to become the kind of woman the Sanctuary demands, quiet, devout, unseen. But when her closest friend disappears without explanation and whispers of hidden truths begin surfacing beneath the compound's careful rituals, Alma starts to notice the cracks in the world she was taught to fear leaving. Jonah has noticed them for years. Assigned to maintain the Sanctuary's generators and forbidden technology, Jonah has seen enough hypocrisy to know the cult's holiness is built on lies. He's spent years surviving in silence after his brother vanished for asking too many questions. But the closer Alma gets to the truth, the more dangerous they both become. As Father Vale tightens his grip and an arranged marriage threatens to seal Alma's future forever, Alma and Jonah are forced to confront the terrifying possibility that escape may be their only chance at freedom. But leaving The Sanctuary is only the beginning. Because the outside world is louder, crueler, and far more overwhelming than Alma ever imagined, and some forms of conditioning do not end at the gates. *Cult of Silence* is a haunting psychological thriller about control, faith, survival, and what it truly means to choose your own life.

Raised in the quiet Meru village of Kianjai by a principled father who believes deeply in patriotism and service, Kamau grows up witnessing the slow transformation of a young republic.

Chase and I (Ben) are both here to answer your questions! Just about any random question is welcome! And if you come from my previous book Pups Save the World and have questions about American society, the economy, general political philosophy, religion, or even the meaning of life, feel free to ask away! Both Chase and I are at your service! However, as of Tuesday, March 3, 2026, while we are open to big ideas and principles, this Q&A will not cover detailed discussion of ongoing geopolitical conflicts or real-time international crises. Note: This book is a spinoff from my previous book Pups Save the World: A Satirical PAW Patrol Fanfiction (https://www.wattpad.com/story/402662031). Although it is highly recommended to check that book out, it is not mandatory for asking Chase and me any questions. Additionally, the idea for this book is not originally mine; it was inspired by @dearie-maissa (formerly @Amazing_Skye, her account has unfortunately been deleted 😭) and @ChaseTheRacer (who is no longer active on Wattpad).
