The dead hand of history still grips the throat of the present. Three centuries after a meteor shower struck Earth, humanity is divided between the powered and the originals. One group changed. One did not. In the years that followed, a virus killed billions, twisted the natural world into something monstrous, and gave fear a shape to blame. The powered have carried that blame ever since. Collared, controlled, and sent beyond the city walls, they are forced to fight the mutations that roam the wilds. Ezra, a doctor, refuses to accept the world's clean divisions. He treats anyone who needs him, believing every life has value, even in a city built on deciding otherwise. When one act of mercy toward a stranger pulls him into a hidden war, Ezra begins to uncover the truth buried beneath generations of fear. Tension between originals and powered reach a breaking point, and Ezra faces a choice that could alter the course of humanity. One where the line between saving and destroying becomes increasingly blurred.

Kimira Disvinadiya has everything under control. As student council president, top student, and self-appointed guardian of schedules, deadlines, and proper procedure, his life runs with military precision. Wake up. Go to school. Finish paperwork. Repeat. Then one morning, he wakes up as a girl. Naturally, Kimi's first concern isn't the impossible transformation. It's the paperwork. Determined to keep his life from falling apart, Kimi throws himself even harder into routine. Meetings still need to be held. Reports still need to be signed. The student council won't run itself. But no amount of planning can stop the changes creeping into his life. As friendships shift, relationships become complicated, and the person staring back from the mirror feels less and less familiar, Kimi is forced to confront a question he has spent years avoiding: Is he actually living? Or has he only been existing according to a schedule someone else wrote for him?

"My only fear would have to be death, but even then, not even death frightens me anymore." When Simon was only a child, he had his mind set on not just becoming a director but also a pioneer for all films to come, yet even when he had acquired all he had needed for his path, nothing ever seemed to bloom for him, leaving him in a spot where he questions everything about himself. Yet, when he takes his quarterly checkup, he comes across something that may or may not awaken something in him.

Before you read this, I want to say one thing: this isn't a love story asking for an ending. It's a story about kindness, gratitude, and the people who unknowingly change us. Inspired by real conversations and honest emotions, this book is about discovering that not every unforgettable chapter begins with love. Sometimes, it begins with a simple notification.

At 14, Sierra Mason was certain about her future. Ten years later, she has no idea who she is. She feels like the only one who hasn't found her purpose. She's been running the same race without ever seeing a finish line. Everyone around her seems to have found their way, while Sierra is still trying to find her way out of the dark. As she tries to figure out what to do and where to go, Sierra begins paying closer attention to the feelings she's been carrying with her. The ones she understands, the ones she doesn't, and the ones she would rather keep to herself. So she starts writing them down in her diary. Maybe, somewhere between the pages, Sierra will find her spark again. And maybe she'll be able to look back at the girl she used to be and smile.

No theme. No rules. Just words born from passing thoughts and sudden inspiration. A collection of quiet moments, hidden feelings, and fragments of imagination. Written whenever the silence had something to say.

A shard is what remains after something breaks. Not a ruin - a fragment. Irregular, autonomous, complete in itself. Each poem in this collection is a shard: born from a passing image, a sound, a silence - caught before it vanished. No architecture. No continuity. Only the moment of fracture, held still. Silver the Hedgehog moves through each one. He does not explain them. He inhabits them.

With the threat of Spectre now behind them and the echoes of the battle on that fateful Christmas Eve at Mali-U died down, for Sam and Ricky the future is no longer a mirage, but a daily challenge. In this second season, the bond between the Spies and the Chimera Squad evolves into an unbreakable bond, blending adrenaline-fueled action with the harsh and ironic reality of everyday life. Between lively breakfasts and a far from simple coexistence, the protagonists will discover that defeating a villain is nothing compared to learning to live together. But the past hasn't finished taking its toll: from a leaden Rome to the secrets buried between Puglia and Sicily, ghosts and unfinished business resurface. New loves, old grudges, and the search for a hard-to-find normality, on a journey where the true mission is to save themselves from their own memories.

Poems written when I was a teen. A lot of honesty, and themes of faith. The cover art is my actual notebook the poetry is in.

Elena Carter has never been uncertain about who she is. She observes. She listens. She decides - carefully, deliberately, without needing to explain herself to anyone. Adrian Blake builds his world the same way he approaches everything else - with structure, precision, and control. Every decision has a reason. Every step has a purpose. They come from families that understand ambition, expectation, and the quiet weight of both - where choices are rarely simple, and nothing exists in isolation. In a world where most things are negotiated, calculated, or assumed, they are the kind of people who still pause. Still question. Still choose. This is not a story about being carried by circumstance or pulled into something inevitable. It is about what happens when clarity meets expectation. When instinct resists what makes sense. When two people who are used to deciding for themselves are asked to consider something that was never entirely theirs to begin with. And the quiet, deliberate choices that follow.

A product of man is transcended into a god for a little while.

Synopsis: Limerence is not just a love story. It's a series of misfortunate events that lead us to becoming. It's a story about recognition. About what happens when the universe orchestrates something too precise to be coincidence, when two people meet not by accident but by design. It's about a reckoning and the rupture that follows. It's about reverence. Set against the backdrop of soft nights and silent mornings, of city lights and heartbeats in dark rooms, Limerence follows a bond that blurs the line between fate and fantasy. Their love exists in fragments, in glances, in silence, in the ache of what can't be said. It's intimate, disarming, and deeply human. But love, like seasons, shifts. And sometimes the most profound connections are the ones that leave us. They haunt us. They shape us. They teach us how to hold on and how to let go. It's also a reflection on the quiet betrayals that unfold in the name of friendship. On the violence that lingers in the rooms where someone should have already left. Sometimes the people we tether ourselves to begin to rot the very places meant to hold love. And by the time we realize it, we've already bruised the hands reaching out to save us. This is a story for anyone who's ever touched something sacred, fleeting, and real. Even if only for a moment. A song for every soft ache, illusion, and unraveling.
