Have you ever had one of those terrible yet annoyingly pivotal moments? You know, that monumental fragment of time that flips everything you have ever known. That plot twist second that completely takes you by surprise. The one just before the storm hits and everything goes to hell. Yes? Because you see, that moment happens to be my whole damn life. It wasn't always like this though. I used to have a pretty mundane existence, happy to just get good grades and be around my friends. God I wish I could get that simplicity back, I'd never complain it was boring again. But I know I'm not going to ever get back my old life because well... I died. (Kinda) But I woke up. And I was thrilled, beyond grateful I wasn't dead. But then I realized that there was one minor detail that had changed about my reality. I was given the chance to live but it turns out I woke up as the villainess in an otome game my friend used to be obsessed with - Kingdom of freaking Hearts (I added the freaking in there for effect, it's just Kingdom of Hearts) Where, for the record, the villainess only has two possible endings 1) execution and 2) getting exiled. So Fate was like, "Don't worry, I'll save you. Here's a chance to live" and then was like "psyche, screw you. You're still going to die but I'll let you suffer a little first." So now, if only to annoy Fate by proving it wrong, I am determined to survive. I can and I will if I play by these simple rules: 1) Befriend Heroin 2) Avoid Aryn Edwards at All Costs as well as other capture targets And 3) Be the top student at the academy and become an invaluable asset to my Kingdom so I become indispensable, thus unkillable. I'm determined, stubborn, persistent and I will live passed 16. Fate made a big mistake setting me up to die. Since it threw this plot twist at me, I figure I'll return the favor. I'll be the biggest plot twist Fate never saw coming...

She was never meant to survive him.
He was never meant to save her. In Break Coast, nobody sleeps easy. Scarlett thinks she's seen it all - until someone starts following her. A shadow in the woods. A reflection that lingers too long. A man who somehow knows her name before she ever says it. He smirks when she aims a gun at him. He laughs when she fires. He was meant to be just another shadow, another sleepless night. But in Break Coast, shadows follow back. And the moment she pulls the trigger, something awakens. He's cold, controlled, a weapon carved from darkness.
She's stubborn, volatile, a walking storm. And yet... they're forced into an alliance neither wants, in a world where loyalty is currency... and trust is suicide.

He was studying for a chemistry test. Then he was thrown into a war. Kevin Ho is an anxious, pacifist high school student whose only escape is fantasy novels. But when a fatal car accident tears him from his world, he awakens in the midst of a brutal siege-a world where warriors channel the power of Qi and survival is measured in blood. Marked as an outsider and useless in a society that values only martial strength, Kevin's only advantage is a mysterious system known as the Mandate, which allows him to see patterns in the chaos. Forced to become the strategist for a desperate fortress, he must use his wits to outmaneuver an overwhelming enemy, earning the wary respect of the fortress's deadly champion, a young woman named Xiao Li. But the Mandate is a double-edged sword, its power fueled by his own mind and spirit. To survive, Kevin must abandon his pacifist ideals and navigate a world of political intrigue, brutal combat, and a slow-burning connection that defies the boundaries of their two worlds. The path to victory will scar him, and the path back home is a distant, seemingly impossible dream. Can a pacifist survive in a world built on violence? And if he wins the war, will there be anything left of him to save?

Born under an omen. Raised under suspicion. Chosen by no one-yet hunted by everyone.

Cassandra Clover has always existed in the quiet spaces between introversion and extroversion-soft-spoken, thoughtful, her rare beauty inherited from dark-skinned parents who raised her to lead with kindness. She's the friend everyone wants but few truly know, someone who overthinks every word yet still gives herself away too freely. She's learned to protect her vulnerabilities, building walls just high enough to feel safe. Then she meets Cardan Wilson. There's something about him that stops her cold. His eyes that he covers with a hood, which she never should have seen-deep and swirling, as if crafted with deliberate care-seem to hold secrets she desperately wants to uncover.

He's magnetic in his mystery, unsettling in his distance, and she can't look away. Cassie has never felt this pull before-this need to understand someone who seems determined to remain unknown. Cardan is a puzzle she didn't ask for but can't ignore, and the more she reaches for him, the more she realizes he might be reaching back. In a story about two people who see something in each other the world has overlooked, Cassie will learn that sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do is let someone in-and sometimes, it's the only way to truly live.
